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.

Tuesday, 22 September - IN OTHER PEOPLE'S SHOES: TAKE A WALK

Wear someone else's shoes for the day, what does it feel like? Take a favourite pair of shoes and share stories with family or friends, reflecting on journeys travelled on foot, then design a shoe mandala. What happens when walking?

Wednesday, 23 September - IMAGINATION OUR NATION: IN YOUR MIND.

Creativity, wellbeing and mindfulness can make dreams come true! Have fun and think about what other materials Kinetika could use for mandalas by sharing the things that matter.

Saturday, 26 September – RENEWAL: IN YOUR GARDEN/STREET

Turning landfill into a community park, where insects and wildlife can thrive again. Make a mandala to create a natural habitat in your garden.

Sunday, 27 September - GROW YOUR OWN: IN YOUR GARDEN/ALLOTMENT

Sustainable communities, how grown vegetables and plants, foraging, living a healthy lifestyle. Make a mandala from local produce or home grown food. Plant seeds for the future and share dreams for a world that is changing.

These will be shared online and inspire people at home to make their own mandala following these themes and then share on facebook, twitter, or Instagram with the hashtag #T100calling.

Bubbles of six can get involved at home, in a local green space, in a garden and with their community. Kinetika director Ali Pretty said "Let's see how creative Thurrock can be to keep us going through these challenging times."
