Rainy day blues? Not at the Sunshine Project. Our amazing Learning Team kept our garden volunteers dry and happy with a fun "Thunder Drum" craft session. We painted by the cosy fire in our beautiful Winter Garden glass house. Who needs sunshine when you`ve got great company, creativity and tea and biscuits on hand… if you are looking for engaging workshops, get in touch with us.

As part of the Sunshine project members of the garden team recently took part in a clay workshop led by Jayne Wright @ThanetTilesOfJoy and our resident artist, Julia Ellen-Lancaster.
Starting with identical balls of clay each person created an individual tile inspired by things which brought them joy. The result is a set of tiles which are different from each other. Participants discovered ways to sculpt and mould their designs with inspiration from the garden as well as personal flights of fancy!
Discover these incredible works from our talented team at our open days from Saturday 2nd March to Sunday 1st April.
