Make Your Own Fossil Art
Get creative and unearth the fascinating world of fossils in this family air-dry clay workshop.
Create a masterpiece inspired by the ancient past.
Using air-dry clay and natural materials such as shells, leaves, and real fossils, you'll create your own beautiful fossil-inspired artwork to take home.
Fossils provide amazing clues about life on Earth millions of years ago, helping scientists understand everything from giant dinosaurs to tiny prehistoric plants and microscopic organisms. In this creative session, you'll explore how fossils form before making your own unique impressions and designs inspired by the natural world.
These art workshops are part of our new Meet The Birds Time Forgot event.
Whether you're crafting a dinosaur footprint, pressing leaves into clay or creating patterns from shells, every fossil artwork will be completely unique.

Did you know?
Fossils are actually incredibly rare. Scientists estimate that less than one-tenth of one percent of all species that have ever lived on Earth left behind fossils, and only a fraction of those have ever been discovered. That's what makes every fossil find so exciting!
