THIS is the artwork created by volunteers in Tilbury on Sunday as part of the borough's T100 Walking, Talking and Making Festival.
Over the past weekend in Grays and Tilbury, under strict social guidance conditions, creative and thought-provoking pieces of art were put together in Grays and Tilbury.
A large Mandala was created close to the river in Grays on Saturdayand yesterday it was the turn of Tilbury, where the theme was based on 'Make Do and Mend, largely using ceramics.
There will be more Mandalas in the borough, starting tomorrow.
There will be at least four more Mandala creation events.
