Making marshes and islands

Mums and kids worked together to create a watery, marshy background using lots of materials.

Children put their islands onto their 'sea' and made ways to connect.

This week I worked with a group of some homes-schoolers to create a collaborative piece of work as part of my engagement for my We Are Marshy Folk project. We talked about how special our local landscape is, and we looked out of the Waterworks Offices window to the street down below to where the Haven once rang. It was lovely to be able to talk about my research to people who really wanted to hear about a different story about Grimsby. Thanks to Our Big Picture for asking me to take part with their arts/heritage project.
