A new set of maritime signal flags and messages specific to Wells-next-the-Sea and designed in collaboration with year 4 children at the local primary school.
The flags are inspired by local flora and fauna, observed shapes and patterns, and the re-membered and imagined past, present and future of the town. Posters are on permanent display throughout shops and cafes in the town, and in the homes of the childrens families.
