About this event

Step into the wild and create a unique selection of fabulous 3D insects that celebrate our finest pollinators. Led by artist Sam Krankpod, during this workshop families will sculpt, mould and decorate miniature bees, beetles and butterflies using a range of air-drying clay. Bring your artworks to life with organic embellishments such as skeleton leaves, coconut shells and feathers. A guided mini-beast exploration of the galleries and other visual references will provide inspiration for your creations.
