WORKSHOP: Land Ahoy!
We will experiment with natural inks, inspired by Kensuke’s paintings in the film, to create our own imaginative maps and animal portraits. We’ll explore materials such as feathers and sticks to make paintbrushes as well as techniques like dry brushing, cross hatching and stippling to chronicle your island castaway adventure. Aprons and all materials provided.
“I had read Kensuke’s Kingdom to my boys when they were little and they were enthralled by it. Michael Morpurgo manages to connect so beautifully with a child's sense of wonder and adventure. I very much wanted to be involved in the film version so that they could see it….” Cillian Murphy
Our affordable charity cafe-bar with refreshments and popcorn will be open throughout.
This film is rated PG, for more guidance please check the BBFC website.
