The Wild Escape | The early bird catches the worm…

This children's workshop is part of our programme for Art Fund's The Wild Escape project uniting museums with schools and families in a celebration of UK wildlife and creativity.

There’s a worm at the bottom of the garden… what else can we find outside?

Join us to create two-dimensional creatures out of paper inspired by the wildlife we find in our gardens. These will be displayed as part of a collaborative artwork for Earth Day on 22 April, and the display will be up until the end of May.

In this session we will be using paper, collage, paint and glue, to create cut-out garden birds for display in our collaborative artwork. What birds can be found in the garden looking for food? Sparrows, magpies, blackbirds, robins, pigeons, parakeets? Make your own garden bird and learn how to identify different species.

The Wild Escape is made possible with support from Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants, with additional support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, Kusuma Trust, Foyle Foundation and a group of generous individuals and trusts.
