Captain Cook Memorial Museum has joined forces with Rachael Boddington, the brainchild of ‘Glittermoth Factory,’ to present a special 1 day Fish Crafting Workshop where kids of all ages can enjoy decorating, bottling and netting their own 3-D fish inclusive of the museum entry fee.
Rachael is known locally as ‘that girl who makes the mermaids’ and is keen to share her unique brand of conceptual artwork with youngsters who have an interest in capturing their own creativity. All artworks made can be taken home and kept as souvenirs.
Bottle It & Bag ‘em! is part of the current exhibition Fish & Ships - A Journey Round the World at Captain Cook’s Table’, telling the story of naval rations and eating habits of the Georgian era. Exhibition highlights include several pieces of the original Resolution dinner service, a full scale reconstruction of the Endeavour stove and Sir Joseph Banks' 18th Century portable cooking apparatus, on loan from Skaill House, Orkney and The Royal Geographical Society, London.
Come along and be part of the Fish Preserving Fun on Sunday 21st August, 10am-4pm
