The Donald Thomas Centre
Create worked with recent Falmouth Univeristy BA Architecture graduates Nicki and Julzs and University of Exeter Department of Renewable Energy Engineering students Maryam Alzadjani and Cal Watkins to develop concepts and proposals to transform the Grade 2* listed building into a state of the art, sustainable Contemporary Crafts Hub
Interiors
This exciting video, showing how the building might look once the works are complete, was done by
Maryam Alzadjali, Cal Watkins and the Desin Sostenadow team at the University of Exeter Department of Renewable Energy Engineering.

Community Mosaic
The existing dull grey pebbledash behind the iconic columns detracts from the imposing Greek Revival facade, so we are proposing a ceramic and glass mosaic, made at Create by the people of Camborne, to welcome visitors to the building.
Gallery
The entrance hall has now been opened up and transformed into a welcoming gallery where pottery glass and jewellery made here at Create by the local community here is on display.
Glass Studio
The light, open glass studio will contain a kiln room and cold working room, as well as a mezzanine above for jewellers' workspaces.
Pottery
A brand new, naturally lit, dedicated ceramics studio has now been built to replace the low concrete extension to the side of the building. This pottery now allows accessible level entry to the whole building and offers foot and hand operated wheels and there is an accessible toilet in the building (Please call ahead of arrival to confirm all accessibility needs so that we can open the side door prior to your arrival; 01209 716927.)
Workshop Entrance
The ugly metal security doors on the side of the building will be replaced with glazed doors to allow light and direct access into the glass workshop.
