Piped Poetry is a text based work developed through a series of poetry workshops and a visit to the banks of the river Thames with Year 5 pupils of Millbank Primary School, Westminster. More than 50 lines of the children's poetry on the concept of water and the local river systems were stenciled on the school's Victorian pipework. The project was documented by a film and publication.
