Free & designed for children ages 4-10
Become wildlife researchers! Inspired by Becky Lyon’s work, ‘Muntjac‘, we’ll explore animals that are brilliant at hiding and make sneaky bookmarks to tuck inside books. Stacey McGonigal will show you how to use simple origami folds, recycled paper, scrap fabrics, googly eyes, pens and crayons to create your own animal corner bookmarks. You can choose animals that camouflage themselves like leaf insects, snowy foxes, moths, owls or octopuses. Smaller children can colour in ready-made animal shapes too.
Our current gallery show ‘Tending‘ continues to grow roots planted last year in ‘At the Meadow’s Edge‘, inviting us to notice, care for and relate to each other and the environment. Artworks awaken the senses through inviting us to rest and reflect. The show is free to visit and will be open before and after the workshop to inspire your bookmark making.

WORKSHOP CODE:
Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;
- Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
- Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
- Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
- In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
