Calling allotmenteers and gardeners in and around Church Village!
Why do we grow? What joys and challenges come with tending land through the seasons?
A Lot Meant is a gentle, creative gathering for people who grow food, flowers, or plants — whether you’ve had an allotment for years, help out on others, or are just getting started.

Artists Rhys Slade-Jones and Harriet Fleuriot invite you to take part in a creative workshop and shared lunch, embracing the quiet of winter and imagining spring together.

The morning workshop will be led by local poet and RCT Artist-in-Service clare e potter, followed by a relaxed, hot cooked communal lunch with poetry sharings, craftings and chatter.

Blending conversation, creativity, and shared food, the day offers a space to reflect on growing, belonging, and care — for land and for each other. The event values slowness, collective knowledge, and intergenerational exchange.

Everyone is welcome!!

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

clare e potter loves poetry in her local woods by the ash and sycamore. As a trainee poetry therapy practitioner, she facilitates creative wellbeing workshops, motivated by the belief that poetry can be a force for personal and social change. She presents radio including ‘Max Boyce, The Tools are on the Bar,’ and ‘The Poet’s Poet’ which was nominated for a Celtic Media Award; she directed a BBC Wales documentary, ‘The Wall and the Mirror’ about her village barber, which encouraged community action to save the local miners institute in Cefn Fforest. Clare mentors and is mentored by other artists and collaborates with community groups to make site-specific work. She won the John Tripp Award for Spoken Poetry and translated for the National Poet of Wales. She was a Hay Festival Writer at Work and is this year’s Royal Society of Literature/Jerwood Poetry Award winner for Cymru. Her current Cymraeg poetry pamphlet Nôl Iaith follows her collection Healing the Pack. She was an ambassador for the Welsh language at Llif a European languages retreat with focus on ecology, climate emergency and culture.

Harriet Fleuriot is a Rhondda-based artist working across performance, film, and installation. Harriet’s practice blends live and recorded work, focusing on the body as an archive of the untold and film as a site for reimagining narratives. Harriet was recently appointed Artist in Service at Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, developing her practice through community engagement. Recent work includes a short film commissioned by the AM Community Films fund, exploring "an interior life" with local elder women in her community (view here). Harriet also works as a producer, editor, mentor, and access supporter for other artists, a workshop facilitator for wellbeing groups, and is a trustee for Rhondda Arts Festival.

Rhys Slade-Jones is an interdisciplinary artist hailing from Treherbert and living and working in South Wales. Walking the line between the convivial and the confrontational, Rhys creates political work that straddles the worlds of performance, cabaret and craft. Their work is a meditation on queer ecologies, the limitless exuberance of queer raves and the inherently political nature of joy, all of which are complicated by a simultaneous awareness of environmental catastrophe and collective lament. Rhys is currently Artist in Service for Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, was a 2022 Future Wales Fellow with the Arts Council of Wales, and is a founding member of the queer Welsh performance collective CWM RAG.
