DO GREAT, FEEL GREAT

C O F F E E + T E A A R T

There’s nothing like a good cuppa, especially when it turns into a wonderful work of art. So boil the kettle, reach for your teabags

and coffee granules and let’s make something amazing.

Prince’s Trust Young Ambassador Daniel Perkins came up with the idea for these tasty paintings.

He works to encourage others to use art to boost their wellbeing, and also tries to raise awareness

of the threats facing endangered species – including hedgehogs – through his work.

Daniel, you’re an art-tea genius!
