Participants worked with artist Caroline Chouler- Tissier to create ceramic birds for Reuben’s Retreat, the Glossop charity who are renovating the old Woods Hospital and working to relieve the distress of families who have suffered the bereavement of a child or have a child suffering from a life-limiting/threatening illness.
The group made a large number of lovely ceramic birds, which were mounted on steel rods, and then installed in the gardens. these were unveiled by the Mayor of the High Peak, Cllr Linda Grooby, on October 18th. The participants were made very welcome by the charity, and everyone enjoyed tea, coffee and cake, and a tour of the building – both the completed ‘Lodge’, and the old hospital.
