Creation Station | Flies and Fly Swats

Anna-Louise-Richardson.jpg

When you meet an animal in your life, have you thought about what objects you have or need with you to meet them?

Some objects are kind and helpful (food, brushes for pets, nestboxes and homes) some are to make the animal go away (fences, poison and fly swats).

Why do we welcome some animals and not others?

Be inspired by artist Anna Louise Richardson's largescale drawing of the animals and objects in her life and make your own fly swat and flies from cardboard, string, sticks and paper.

Our Creation Station is a free art making activity space for children and all ages. All materials are supplied and you can stay as little or as long as you like. The Creation Station is accessible at anytime during gallery opening hours.
