Half term to do list

Winifred Nicholson at Kettle's Yard!

Free exhibition
They have an activity in the center of the gallery for kids, so you can actually have a look around at the art while your child plays with colours, paper and pencils

It's a very small and perfectly formed exhibition, so you might even have a chance to read the wall text before your kids drag you out of there.  Each painting has so much light in it and a very interesting use of colour, don't miss the one with the shell on the windowsill.

Once you do exit the building, take a walk up the little hill to the Chapel for a peek in at the lovely building and any art commissions that lay within.

The Big Draw is almost here! (will post our drawings later!)

I for one am excited and cant wait to help them with making their banner inspired by all the objects at the Cambridge University Museums this Saturday 20th of October, Romsey Mill. I am not sure if they will have actual objects there for us to draw from, all the better if they do! Free, and family friendly
