Lowestoft Folk - Participant Quote 1

Participant feedback from Lowestoft Folk: "Sometimes in the evening the song sort of comes back to me - I don't quite sing it, but I think it." Resident, Britten Court Care Home.

Over the course of two years, artists led school pupils and care home residents in an exploration of artifacts and stories found in Lowestoft Museum and the Maritime Museum, including quilts, porcelain and paintings, dolls houses, scale model boats, ship figureheads and sea shanties.

Through 12 weekly creative workshops, the inter-generational pairings shared their memories and experiences of local folk traditions with each other and created contemporary folk art, to be added to the Museums’ existing collections.
