I also created a self portrait print that incorporated the encased butterfly display, using a pencil and piece of square foam. This workshop made me feel like a kid on a school trip to the museum, and as I recall there were many trips to Manchester Museum during my school years. I have also previously worked at the museum as a volunteer as part of the ‘Family Friendly Film Festival,’ assisting with the creative workshops. I enjoyed the fact that on this occasion the event was for adults only and I hope they'll continue to bring new exhibitions and evenings such as this to the museum for us excitable adults who also enjoy making things and looking at dinosaur skeletons, but with a bottle of beer in ours hands, of course. I will keep my twitter eyes peeled as I heard this event is the first of many!
