The Tean workshop took place at the local village hall; Great Wood Hall.
The workshop was led by invited ceramicist Sue Blatherwick of The Art Barn, Longnor and by Emma Dawson Varughese, the lead artist of Knotted Identities. The artists worked with a group of young people from Tean Youth Club and they explored ideas of belonging to Tean and the (south) Staffordshire Moorlands.
