Felting a Friend: Family Workshop with Rick Outis - Tuesday 27th May: 2x Workshops - 9:45am to 12:15pm and 1pm to 3:30pm
Make a little felted friend to hold a special pebble. Sometimes holding a special stone in our hand can make us feel super strong and safe. If we make a pod to hold our stone, the stone will be sure to look after us! Wet felting is a fantastic sensory activity with lots of soap, warm water, rubbing and rolling! The result is magical, colourful and fun!
£12 for one child / £2 for two children / £30 for three children
Aimed at children aged 6 years and up (with their adults also making their own felted friends!) Limited places - online booking essential https://the-norris-museum.arttickets.org.uk/
