As
half term week is normally uninterrupted X-Box and kid's TV, lock
up the remote/control pad, and bring your budding sculptors, archaeologists
or even forensic scientists to this exciting demonstration of PegSculpture.
Held at the Natural History Museum, this fun-packed (and educational,
of course!) workshop is for all the family. A professional forensic
reconstruction artist will reveal how to create the face of
terrifying T-Rex and Neanderthal Man using specialised techniques
honed by experts. The skulls in each PegSculpture pack are cast
from museum originals (T-Rex is scaled down of course) and includes
facial templates to simplify reconstruction using plasticine-type
modelling clay. Numbered pegs are inserted in numbered holes to
indicate how much clay to use. Audience members (large and small)
will be invited to go up on stage to participate under the artist's
expert guidance.
