A few photographs of our latest projection work, ‘Postcards from Gainsboroughs’. Working with three schools local to Gainsborough, the project introduced schoolchildren to the fascinating Victorian photographic technique of cyanotypes. It not only allowed the children to connect with their town’s rich heritage but also gave them the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings about Gainsborough in a creative and meaningful way.
We celebrated their work with an exhibition which brought together their prints, some of the equipment used and a behind the scenes film. Then, stepping into Gainsborough Old Hall’s banqueting hall, they saw their work brought to life.
It was a rewarding experience to share our passion for photography and art with the children while helping them engage with their town’s history in a personal and creative way. The project empowered the children to become active participants in celebrating and shaping the identity of Gainsborough.
