Fishes and Wishes was a Barn at Easington family digital arts engagement project. The local communities assisted Barn artists on an exciting interactive story journey, sharing hopes for the future as well as making illustrations out of founding and natural materials.

The Barn at Easington encouraged all participating families to find time to go to their local woods, beaches and outside space to create the art works, but you can also make your fish in your garden or yard.
