Today Kathy and Hannah led a workshop session for 7-10 year olds who, armed with explorer kits, headed off into West Quarter to see what they could find out about this place and it’s people.
Here's some of what they found: A manhole cover made by Parkin and sons of Exeter; some interesting doorways; some very old key-holes and hinges; spiders' nests; fearsome dogs and alley cats; an artist at work in Neptune Court (Lady Lucy); a watering can which looked like a face; some windows reflecting light onto a wall; some flowers growing from gaps in the path; worm holes, a fire riser; an interesting shape which looks like a dog on the Co-op window.
Participants took photographs, made sound recordings, collected specimens and made drawings. Back at the gallery they experimented with ways of displaying their research. The final display can be seen on 24th April 2-4pm.
