From unicorns and basilisks to mockingjays and nifflers, fantastic beasts and impossible creatures are often among our favourite things about made-up worlds. But the authors who invent these weird animals are often inspired by real-life nature every bit as strange!
If you're aged 12–16 and fancy writing fantasy, join us for a free writing workshop in the Hunterian Zoology Museum, where you'll get a chance to learn about some bizarre creatures and then create your own!
Experts will be on hand, refreshments will be provided and you'll be given everything you need to invent a brand new species. Will it be a friend or a foe? Come and find out!
Younger siblings are welcome with the grown-ups and there will be something for them to do too.
Facilitators:
Will Tattersdill writes and teaches about the relationship between science and popular culture at the University of Glasgow. He is currently working on a book about the history of dinosaurs and has co-written a kids’ fantasy adventure gamebook.
