Postcards To Captute Harborough’s Lock-Down Experiences

Written by on 9th June 2020

People are being asked to create postcards depicting their experiences of the lock-down in Market Harborough.

The collection will then be used to create a ‘time capsule’ of how Coronavirus has affected the community.

Some of the postcards already sent in

The community art project is being run by two creative businesses, ceramic art studio The Paint Pottle on St Mary’s Road and Button Lane Arts and Crafts,

Claire Webb, owner of the Paint Pottle, spoke to Hfm:

 

The Paint Pottle and Button Lane will be making a digital postcard template available on their Facebook pages for the public to fill in with pictures, paintings, poems, thoughts, drawings or simply a letter, in response to lockdown.
