I want to share with you these super fun and easy crafty loo roll lions. We made them at The Higgins, the home of the Edward Bawden archive in Bedford.
The lions are inspired by Bawden’s Aesop Fable artwork for ‘The Lion and The Gnat’. You can see the piece in the main (or mane) exhibition called ‘Edward Bawden and Me’.
So many creative families attended the workshop today and made some beautiful lions. This was my third crafternoon at the Higgins and we had so much fun! If you missed out and want to make a lion at home with your family, you can download and print a template (the file is called crafternoon-3-lion). You just need an empty loo roll, some glue and something to colour in your lion elements. We used pens and collage material, but you can use whatever art materials you have at home.
My next art workshop will be at the Bedford River festival in July at the Higgins tent. 🦆
