Join us to explore the clever designs of birds, nature’s master architects. Inspired by their beautiful nests, you’ll create your own artwork using colourful art supplies and recycled materials. Let your imagination take flight! This event is part of our Heritage Open Day programme, celebrating England’s largest festival of history and culture. 

Drop-in activity in the Create Space, recommended for ages 8+. Children under 16 must be accompanied. 

Please contact Alia Cruz, Learning Manager at  learn@thebowesmusuem.org.uk if you have access requirements, so the session can be adapted to suit your needs.
