Kentish Stour Countryside Project

ENVIRONMENTAL ARTS

 
  Forest art for all ages

The Stour Valley Art Project has had another successful season of workshops for children in King’s Wood. With guidance from local artists and KSCP the children created pinhole cameras and made dream-casters from materials found in the wood. Tessa Farmer, artist in residence, created the Fairy Trail around the wood in time for the Canterbury Festival.

  Salt Way seat

A seat carved from Blean Wood oak has been placed on the Crab and Winkle Way outside the church of St. Cosmus and St. Damian in the Blean. As well as being on National Cycle Route 1, it is also on the old salt way that went from the coast at Whitstable and Seasalter to Canterbury and further afield. The seat was sculptured by Georgia Wright of Whitstable. The design was inspired by the architecture of the church.
