WOOLLY SNAKES

Join us for a playful workshop where we’ll turn an ordinary toilet roll into a crafty contraption that makes a colourful, woolly snake!

We'll also keep adding to our giant group textile sculpture by wrapping, twisting, and threading all sorts of fun fabrics together.

This is a fun, story-generating workshop with Somerset children’s author Emma Bettridge and her dog Nell.  We will go for a walk down to a secret location & gather to write/use dictaphones to record stories and ideas.  It is a relaxed, interesting and inspiring workshop for children.
