Projects

The Horsebridge has launched a programme of Creative Workshops supported by a great community of local artists and teachers. The workshops will take place in our large, light and airy Studio and our aim is that each session will give people the confidence to try a new skill and take part in creative and enjoyable activities as part of new group.   

This is an initiative that we have developed in partnership with Whitstable artist, Catriona Campbell.  We have been collecting unwanted arts and crafts materials (and books) and will offer these on a “pay what you can basis”. We also will use some of the materials in free, or affordable, creative sessions for adults and children.

Our War Their Story was a commemorative learning project gathering accounts of those who lived and served during WW1, by members of the local community to create lasting memories of this period through retelling unique, unheard stories of those important to them,  creating a final account of lived wartime experience.

We supported a small group of families and individuals to research and learn more about a person or person(s) special to them or who they have a connection with, to preserve their wartime story to pass on to future generations.

Hannah McDonald is a published author/illustrator currently taking part in a year-long residency programme with us here at The Horsebridge.

We have the pleasure of stocking Hannah's prints and cards in our shop and are really excited to support Hannah at the centre with this first Horsebridge residency.
