Discover the wonderful World of Whales as illustrator Becky Thorns joins us on World Whale Day on Sunday 16 February, 11am – 4pm, to celebrate the launch of her new book.

Make and Take-over

This special Make and Take will be taken over by local illustrator Becky Thorns. Take part in a group collage inspired by Becky’s new book, The World of Whales.

We’ll be using recycled plastic to create a whale collage of one of Becky’s whale illustrations which will be displayed in the Museum. You’ll also make a mini whale to take home.

You’re welcome to bring along your own materials including scrap paper and cardboard packaging.
