We have kindly been invited to take part in Culture Shift's ‘Time Travel in Sussex: History in the Making’ project, taking part at Amberley Museum throughout the Summer.

The project consists of four visits to the Museum, with yesterday marking the start, where we had the day to look around the Museum and exhibits. We also met Nancy, resident Potter who, on our next two visits will be teaching us how to make & glaze a clay pot.

We had a great day exploring and the rain held off!

Thank you to Culture Shift and Amberley Museum for giving us the opportunity to take part in this fantastic project!
