The Monuments are inspirational. During the course of the project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, there have beenvarious workshops and courses which have stimulated creativity amongst artists and creatives.
The Summer Outreach Course
The course was led by Lyn Hewitson artist in residence at Kettering Buccleuch Academy. It was an opportunity for the students to explore the monuments in depth and create an art work in response.
