A visit from Mr & Mrs Titchmarsh

 

Its been a busy morning as we had a visit from Horticap's patron Alan Titchmarsh. He spent some time admiring the students art work. Carl was silk painting one of the silk scarves we sell in our shop and Alison, Alan's wife was really interested in the process of how he creates them.

 

 

 

Caroline has been stencilling text onto our new hessian bags that are also now sold in our shop.
