THE CERAMICIST'S GARDEN: Multi Faith Walk
WALK 3
27 October, 2024 2-4pm
A walk with Monaliza Gabal, hosted by Anna Francis.

<h4>For the Last in our series of Walks, we are pleased to be joined by Friends of the Spode Rose Garden volunteer Monaliza Gabal. As well as volunteering in many capacities to support communities across Stoke-on-Trent, Monaliza has been volunteering at the Spode Rose Garden for 2 years. Monaliza will draw on her connections to our multi-cultural city to host a walk welcoming people from all faiths to share their experience of the city's parks and green spaces.</h4><h4>
</h4><h4>The walk will begin in the Spode Rose Garden, and end at the Band Stand in Hanley Park with Tea and Cake.</h4>

<h4>Dress for the weather, and please be mindful that we will be walking approximately a mile and a half. This is not a round route, so you will need to consider onward travel at the end of the walk.</h4>

The Ceramicist's Garden is an ongoing project developed by Anna Francis in conjunction with the Friends of the Spode Rose Garden. We think of ‘The Ceramicist’s Garden’ as an opportunity to explore the relationship between nature, plants and gardens, horticulture and ceramics in relation to the heritage of Stoke on Trent, and the people living here today.

For this stage of the project, The Council-Led ‘Living Heritage City’ project has commissioned the Spode Rose Garden to undertake a series of public walks which will lead to the uncovering of stories and information shared by people from the city via our community walks. The walks will have a focus on our relationship to Plants and Ceramics, with each walk taking a different theme, and being co-hosted by brilliant people from across our city.

4 themed walks will be planned which will reveal content for a permanent digital walk, to be launched as part of the City's Centenary Celebrations. The walks are an opportunity for the people and communities of the city to contribute to the permanent trail. Each walk will start at the Spode Rose Garden, and will travel up towards the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, adding to our collection of visual material, community stories and both tangible and intangible heritage elements.

We aim to engage with a wide range of voices living, working and visiting the trail locations in order to ensure that the stories and content collected represent a diversity of voices from across the city.

Sign up to one or more of the walks, to explore this fascinating topic together or to share your own stories of gardens, horticulture, ceramics and our city.
