On Thursday 26 January the Young People from ISP Fostering Whitstable along with their teacher Sarah had an outing to The Horsebridge to take part in an art workshop to create a series of prehistoric fossils that would be found in the layers of sediment under the Antarctic Ice.
This week saw the start of our 'Extraordinary Places' Antarctica Project, working with our volunteer group, Young Makers and ISP Fostering to create all the parts of a large communal mural highlighting the unique eco system of Antarctica and the effects of climate change on this fragile environment.
I have been in love with Whitstable ever since I first visited many years ago. To me it has the perfect balance of history and creativity, calm and bustle, stormy skies and cosy corners. I have many treasured memories attached to this place, so much so, one of the comics in my book was inspired by my visits here.
