“Sometimes a splat is just a splat, but sometimes a splat is much more than that!” “What is a dot when a dot is not? Is it a swish? A sweep? Or a swirl? Is it a scurry? A wave? Or a pearl?”
Join Johanna Bell for a lively exploration of finding wonderful stories in abstract images and making art from anything. Chat to Johanna about her wonderful books for children, including Cheeky Dogs, Digger Digs Down and Searching for Treasure, and enjoy hands-on creative play that ignites the imagination. What will your splat become?
*Ages 3+
