Spotlight on ‘Thou shalt have a fishie…’ and craft activity

A stunning school of papercut fish flows through Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum as a playful reference to the Chantry building’s former use as a school on the banks of the river Wansbeck. ‘Thou shalt have a fishie, When the boat comes in’ explores Northumberland’s fishing and folk traditions through local songs and lyrics held in the Northumbrian Minstrelsy. 

You can find out more about this artwork and the others from A Northumberland Menagerie in this free spotlight talk, and create a shadow puppet designed by the artist every Wednesday afternoon during the Northumberland school holidays.
