Family Learning Festival: Watercolour Worlds
Saturday 4 October – Sunday 19 October
Drop in for a daily design challenge!
Join us this autumn in our learning studios to explore Beatrix Potter's love of Scottish landscapes, flora, fauna and funga (a kingdom full of mushrooms and microorganisms!).
Using colourful watercolours, we'll sketch real plants and paint scenes and stories filled with flowers, toadstools and cute characters - from mischievous bunnies to museum ducks!
Our team of friendly designers will be on hand to help you design your own unique wild kingdoms and there will be lots of stories, instruments and toys to explore. Don't forget to dress up and snap a family selfie with our nature-inspired costumes!
Our daily autumn studio activities are free and welcome families of all shapes and sizes.
This event is part of the national Family Learning Festival, inspiring a love of shared learning through stories.
