So far, Create Berwick’s Create Your Future programme has funded paid work placements for 11 young people from the town. They have worked in photography studios, cultural venues and micro businesses, giving real-world experience of working in a creative role.One of the latest is Poppy, who's working at @ravnclay pottery studio. We spoke with Poppy and with Keith, Ravn Clay's owner, to find out about the impact of these placements, both on the young people taking part, and on the businesses involved. Read their interview on our website by clicking the link in our bio. by @createberwick
