Scribble and Smudge is 18years old!

Year 17 has been special because of the support family and friends have given. Thankyou to all the volunteers who have helped on the under 5’s programmes, your help is the most important thing to the families who come and enjoy their time at the museum and galleries, thankyou to ( in no special order) Caroline, Sue, Barbara, Helen and Sonia.

Thankyou to all of the organisations who have the foresight to want to make our lives a little brighter with hosting creative activities with little children for FREE! Our world will be at a loss without valuing creativity and ensuring it for our future . I have worked with The RAF museum, William Morris Gallery and the Mill this past year.

Thankyou to all of you who have come to the workshops and supported Scribble and Smudge. Please feel the virtual hug to all of you. Here are some photos of musings , inspiration and joy from year 17.
