Explore Sonic Postcard World

Barrow Island Community Primary School -

Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA14 2SJ

School Year:2004-2005
Date:25 February 2005

Led by workshop leader Shaun Blezard, visual artist John Hall and poet Kate Davis, these Year 5 pupils were able to explore their school though fantastic sound maps using blue prints of their school; poetry based work using physical postcards; and sound pictures which you can see below. For their fieldtrip, the 28 pupils involved visited nearby Ronhead to record the sounds to use in their Sonic Postcard. This work was part of the large-scale exhibition at the Art Gene gallery in Barrow-in-Furness - see if you can find the Year 6 Barrow Island postcard to see these images!
