Inspired by our current temporary exhibition, Making Angelina: The World of Helen Craig, join us for character creation and design workshops this Easter Holiday! Our Engagement and Learning Officer will take you through what makes a good character, looking at the wonderful examples from the Angelina Ballerina books, using illustrator Helen Craig’s own sketches and notes. Then, have a go at making your own critter character into a short story, or illustration!

These sessions are designed for children aged 7+, who must be accompanied by an adult throughout. Tickets are FREE, but must be booked in advance here: https://museumofcambridge2.beaconforms.com/form/ad523330

That’s not all! Inside the Museum we will have a craft station set up to make your own Mouseling. Included with Museum admission – children 16 and under go FREE – you can make a paper mouse, colour it in and even give it a stylish outfit, just like Angelina!
