Wolfson College Cambridge: Pot Painting

A person wearing glasses carefully paints white flowers and green stems onto a blue terracotta flower pot at a craft table with paint supplies nearby.

Overview

Through the simple act of decorating a pot and shaping a space of one's own, the afternoon invites quiet reflection on what it means to resettle, rebuild, and create a sense of home. It's also a chance to step away from exam season and gather as a community (and a limited number of free plants will be available to take away!)

Details

This activity is open to all College members and is free to attend - please book your place.

Access

This event will take place in the Student Garden which has fully step-free access and there is an accessible toilet located in our main building.
