The Isle of Thanet has provided inspiration for some of history’s greatest authors, artists and architects and it continues to inspire creativity today.

Unleash the artistic talents you never knew you had, embark on a new hobby or return to a craft you tried once before - remember how much you enjoyed it?

There’s nothing as fulfilling as seeing your finished masterpieces!
