About this event

Tuesday 27 May: Make a Clay Snail and a Bug Hotel

Bugs and creepy crawlies are really important. Without them we wouldn’t have our beautiful flowers and birds.

Make a giant snail out of clay to paint at home once it's been fired in the kiln. Then be a wildlife supporter and build a bug hotel.

Event Highlights:

  • Clay Snail Crafting: Create a snail out of clay, which you can paint at home once it’s fired.
  • Bug Hotel Building: Use a variety of natural materials to build a bug hotel for local, tiny wildlife.
  • Fun and Learning: Learn about the importance of bugs and creepy crawlies in our ecosystem.

Clay will be fired and available to collect a minimum of 4 weeks after the event.

Booking required.

£4.00 per child.
