Get Crafty- Nautic’Hull Alphabet

The Hull Maritime project has teamed up with local community arts group, #WeMadeThis to deliver a four year programme of maritime themed creative taster sessions across the city.

The Nautic’Hull Alphabet project enables us to communicate across Hull using nautical flags from The International Code of Signals. Each flag is an individual letter or a whole message. It could be your street name or the name of the place where you live, or your own name to wear as a badge, or on your door. It could be the name of your school, or a message to people passing by, the possibilities are endless.

You can make your own flags at several maker day crafty taster sessions:
