The Science of 2D Shapes
Showing until 19 April This exhibition displays images from Relationshapes, a children’s book written and illustrated by local artist Sevcan Yuksel Henshall. It is a heart-warming story about a circle’s search for a friend and a home. It does this within the context of geometry and explores how shapes and numbers relate to one another. Audio readings and activities will accompany the exhibition to make it interactive for children. This exhibition is scheduled to include British Science Week 6-15 March. Entrance is Free. |

Livia Kesteven - The Backpack Project: My Bag Can Fly
Wednesday 17 June - Sunday 12 July

Entrance is Free.
Livia will be hosting creative workshops for children at Honeywood based on the book. Details will be available here when confirmed.
