These hand-drawn images were created by children aged between seven and eight years old, in response to a week-long workshop by an artist. They were tasked to draw what they thought their village would be like in 20 years' time.
These drawings were then encased in plaster of paris as time capsules to be opened 20 years hence.
The artist's workshop followed from an archaeological dig where they had been exploring their town's past.
