The exhibition of 54 of Quentin Blake’s wetland-themed prints will be split into two parts that will be available to enjoy at different times throughout the autumn and winter.
Part one will include 29 of Quentin Blake’s prints with part two will be offering the chance to see a further 25 prints. The exhibition provides a unique glimpse into Quentin’s passion for wetlands and wildlife.
Discover beautiful illustrations on display using everything from pens, inks and washes to quills from the birds he has illustrated to help bring their subjects to life, all rendered in Quentin’s iconic style.
If you’re inspired by Quentin’s illustrations, make sure you collect one of the seasonal guides full of his unique drawings and explore the wonderful wetlands. And if you’re feeling creative, there is a whole host of art and illustration activities to spark the imaginations of all ages and abilities.
