Bringing your talents to Triform Camphill Community
In the pottery with co-worker JoJo


The Triform pottery has been part of the work activity program at Triform for over several decades. Currently one of eight work areas available, students get to participate in hands on clay molding, design, painting, glazing and all other aspects involved in the creation of a beautiful piece of ceramic art. The pottery studio at Triform has its own workshop space. Inside this space, you can find multiple pottery wheels, a kiln, supplies, and inspiring teachers and coworkers that work alongside students.


One such inspiring and motivating teacher and coworker is JoJo. JoJo is a coworker that has been at Triform for almost a year. She is an incredibly talented artist who works with students in the pottery workshop. Her arts education from SUNY New Paltz and knowledge of pottery as an artist has helped the students in that work area to thrive on  new techniques and excitement about the craft. As a result of the work she is doing with other co-workers and students in the pottery, JoJo decided to take on the task of developing an Etsy store with some of the other community members. Here, they will be able to share the amazing mission and work of Triform. JoJo is truly a great example of one of the many driven and gifted coworkers at Triform. Like many other coworkers, Triform has highlighted her talents and allowed her to  explore different avenues within her field.

Exposing and nurturing new ways to create, share and grow is one of the many reasons to become a coworker at Triform. This diverse community works to support those with special needs in creative ways, as well as developing the many talents of the care givers that bring so much experience and life to the community.

Coworkers come from all over the world and stay for one year. They can then decide to remain in the community and grow into a more permanent role. Because of the creative work that Triform does, an increased number of people are finding Triform a great fit for them both personally and professionally.

Triform encourages the development of each coworkers strength within the context of Triform’s mission and work. Not only does triform offer great opportunities to gain experience in working with those with special needs, they encourage each coworker to bring their unique talents to the table.

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter

By Anonymous
Baking in Triform: Love in the batter by Meg Henderson Holly and Jamie I have a large collection of cookbooks, some I turn to more often than others. They are usually seasonally inspired with fresh organic produce as the staple ingredient. I am actually lulled to sleep often by looking at glossy photos of “ Classic Irish Cabbage and Bacon soup” or “ Roast Lamb with Lemons and Rosemary.” I wonder if this makes me a little odd. I am thrilled to discover when travelling a ‘Whole Foods' market or a ‘Trader Joes', and remember as a student in sub -tropical South Africa taking a bus on Fridays to the Indian markets in the city center to buy fresh curry leaves and coriander for dhal; a marvelously economical dish, lasting several days. However, I digress. I am inspired by the pictures of steaming pasta with pesto and can smell summer in basil’s almost acrid green smell. Most summers I take my turn with other Triform coworkers, with my kids and students to pr

A Visit to Triform's Dairy

By
It’s just before 6 AM and the day at Triform has already begun. This morning I’m with householder Max vom Stein, his daughter, Lily, and co-worker, Lena, as they start the daily routine of caring for and milking Triform’s cows. These beautiful animals are a big part of the farm and Max was kind enough to give me a tour of the dairy operation to let me get sense of just how these cows fit into the bigger picture of the community. While we talk, Max is busy herding heifer calves born this spring to nurse with their mothers.   He explains that Triform’s herd is a mixed one, combing a variety of breeds, including Jersey, Devon, and Swiss Brown cows.   Once the calves are seen to, we move on to milking. I learn right away that Triform’s cows are more than just livestock; each has their own name and distinct personality. Lily introduces me to Stormy, a very sweet Holstein that I’m told is one of the cows most beloved by the community.   As we settle in to milk, slowly filling our pa
