This week, we were joined by brilliant ceramics artist @juliaellenlancaster_ceramics

The Sunshine Project groups are working together to produce a ceramic art work, which will be permanently displayed in the garden! We can’t yet reveal what the final artwork will look like…. but we can tell you it is inspired by seasonal change, and especially the trees we have here at Quex - whose leaves are turning from green to shades of orange, amber and red at the moment.🍁

Julia will also be joining us at our final well-being day of the year on Friday 24th October! So why not come and have a go at the tile workshop for yourself?

These activities are all possible thanks to support from @aimmuseums and @dcmsgovuk Connecting Communities programme.
