Tiles of Joy

Tiles of Joy

Tiles of Joy is a community art project led by Jayne Wright of JAW Ceramics CIC. It began in partnership with Power of Women (POW) Thanet 2023 with a workshop at Margate Caves. It has since grown into a remarkable collection of over 2,000 handcrafted tiles created by the people of Thanet and beyond.

The project has united diverse community groups, from local schools and heritage organisations to social inclusion initiatives and arts groups, nurturing creativity and connection across the area.

Supported by funding from the UK Government through the Social Enterprise Boost Fund, delivered in Thanet by Social Enterprise Kent, JAW Ceramics CIC has created a growing Tile Trail with installations at constellation locations, including Cliftonville, Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate. More workshops and sites are planned.
