Arty Afternoons: Quay Day – Flying Fish

June 28 @ 11:00 am - 3:30 pm
Two colourful fish crafts made from paper tubes hang by strings. Each has layered paper scales and flowing tail ribbons in vibrant hues, creating a playful and cheerful look.

Taking inspiration from the Golowan theme ‘Forever Flying High!’ and from our fishing-themed artworks here at Penlee House, design and make your own colourful flying fish.
