Wander into the wilderness and discover the creatures that roam through the night.
Inspired by Jess Racklyeft’s book, Bush, join us at this drop-in craft workshop and imagine your own nocturnal creature with a range of collage materials to help your imagination run wild.
Then, add your creation to a nighttime forest scene in the Pauline Gandel Children’s Quarter for all to see.
