WANNABE potters have the chance to make African-themed pots thanks to a mental health group.

Bromley-based Credo has places left on the Big African Pot Project, its free ceramics taster course.

The course is themed around a series of modules exploring African ceramic techniques and decoration.

A group spokesman said: "It offers members of the public, particularly those recovering from mental ill health, the opportunity to unlock hidden creativity."

The course runs on five consecutive Fridays between March 3 and April 7 at Yeoman House, Croydon Road, Penge.

Funding for the course has been provided by the European Social Fund, a European Union fund which gives money to community projects across Europe.
