Lost Words Found Objects take to the Great Flat Lode

For the second part of the Lost Words Found Objects project, year 7 students led by artist Ben Cook, walked the Great Flat Lode trail. The young people navigated themselves using O.S maps and compasses from Wheal Basset to King Edward Mine. Along the way the students from Pool Business and Enterprise College recorded what they saw and found using sketchbooks and digital media, keping their eyes open for as many 'Lost Words' as they could find.

As the project progresses they will be encouraged to find ways in which they can manifest their 'Lost Words' in a physical form of their choosing. The words will be collated in to a book and used to inform and inspire artists working on the Heartlands project.
