Whalebone Makers is a free drop-in craft activity for all ages at Valence House's Whalebone Gallery. The makers return every school holiday to explore identity, inspiration and creativity; this October half term visitors can colour their own autumn window decoration, with leaf templates available from museum reception, taking their masterpiece home to display. Parent supervision is required at all times, and those with SEND requirements or sensory concerns can contact the museum by email.
