Friday 30 October, 10.00-12.00 

This workshop is for families who need a quieter workshop experience and is designed to be autism and neurodivergent friendly.

Did you know that Dylan Thomas, as a naughty schoolboy, threw a stink bomb into a cauldron during his sister’s performance of a witch in Macbeth? Join us for a fun hands-on creative activity, crafting quills and writing spells to make our own wicked fun. We will use Dylan’s autumn poems and spooky items from Swansea Museum’s natural history collection to help inspire us.

Additional staff will be on hand to support families with different sensory needs to take part in this activity.

All our workshops use recycled, repurposed, and environmentally sustainable materials. We will be using naturally dropped feathers to make the quills, which have been kindly collected by our friends Llanelli WWT. There will be natural stick quills for those who do not want to use feathers.

All our workshops are designed with accessibility in mind; please contact the Centre if you wish to discuss access requirements. Fun for families with children of all ages.

This workshop will have a maximum capacity of 28. Please book your free group/family ticket here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/swansea/dylan-thomas-centre

This workshop is part of a Welsh Government funded partnership project between the Dylan Thomas Centre and Swansea Museum, which explores natural history through Dylan Thomas’ writing.

Free.
