Hosted by the University of Exeter, this is a workshop for children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) with a love of art and English.
Do you love puzzles and riddles? Did you know that "The Exeter Book" is a famous book of riddles which date back to the 900s? Riddles are an ancient form of poetry and people have been writing and solving them for hundreds of years. Book-making is also an ancient skill and on this fun-packed day you will have the opportunity to try both!
During this day of puzzles and rhymes you will:
• Work as part of a team to solve riddles;
• Create your own riddles using the tricks of the ancient riddlers;
• Learn about "The Exeter Book" and create your own beautiful book in a book-making workshop;
• Develop your illustration skills and learn about illuminated and 3D lettering.
At the end of the day you will leave with your own beautiful, illustrated riddle book to share with friends and family and lots of new riddle cracking and riddle making skills.
Cost: £35 for the day.
