Devise a guise at the Watt Institution! As we approach Galoshans and Halloween, you will find plenty of costume inspiration in our varied collections! You can see a selection of natural history, masks and headdresses from around the world, and so much more!
We will provide a selection of craft materials to help unleash your creativity as you prepare for your transformation. A wonder round the museum and a rummage through our craft stash…what will you create?
Crafts can be adapted for younger children. Adult supervision is required.
SB: Sound Based
A musical performance which is sound based but will also have a visual element, with decorative instruments and shadow puppets.
V: Highly Visual / No or Little Text
Craft activities will not require text instruction and can be presented visually and verbally
R: Relaxed Performance
All activities will be casual in terms of people coming and going if they wish to. Musical performance uses resonant instruments that people often find relaxing and volumes can be adjusted. Crafts can be adjusted for different requirements or preferences, and can be taken home to a familiar environment.
