Air Gliders and River Floaters

Air Gliders and River Floaters

Make your very own flying machines and miniature rafts and boats using natural materials!

At this family workshop, you will discover how to use natural materials to create glorious air gliders and fantastic river floaters. You will join wild-crafts maker, Jon Tyler, for a short walk to explore RSPB Lakenheath Fen Nature Reserve, and collect materials to use in your creations. You will then return to the Visitor Centre workshop to construct your very own flying machines and boats using what you have gathered. Find it, make it, keep it!
