Fantastic trip to #London with my @TheHeartofGlass mentorship with @carriereichardt got to work on my own #publicart piece and have fun! #artist #artistatwork #ceramics #mosaic #strongwomen

[PLWorkshopsCIC @PLWorkshops]

@Tesco I will DM yes. It’s more expensive to buy the free from ones than the normal ones, yet they are exactly the same!

[PLWorkshopsCIC @PLWorkshops]

Oh @Tesco this is just not on! I know it’s only 10p well 20p with club card but we already pay so much more for our son’s gluten and dairy free food! What do you have to say about this? #Allergies #glutenfree #dairyfree

Over the past few weeks, @carriereichardt has been busy in workshops with local communities to help us create the second mural of the Strong Women project!

[HeartofGlass @TheHeartofGlass]

It’s great to have both Carrie and Claire (@PLWorkshops) back making clay hearts with Strong Women of Knowsley. Last year, Carrie mentored Claire as part of Strong Women of St Helens and it’s so special to invite her back as an artist on this second phase of the project.

[HeartofGlass @TheHeartofGlass]
