Teresa accompanied us on our first day at the centre and after several kisses on our cheeks and (polish) words of welcome we were whisked away in Janusz’s mini-bus. We were really taken aback by the welcome we received at the centre and the hospitality we were shown. Despite our difficulties in communicating at first we found that a bright beaming smile went along way and they appreciated it when we did try to speak in Polish. We learnt lots of positive, encouraging words before we came and made sure to use them frequently as we looked on and grinned.

We were introduced to the participants and they proudly pointed out their artwork furnishing the walls of their studio. We then gave them some gifts we had brought along with us: Leeds Met T-Shirts, Frisbees and Yorkshire tea biscuits. Johnny even demonstrated the art of ‘dunking.’
