Subject: sea urchin shells for a feely box

Dear all

We’re wanting to source some sea-urchin shells for a feely box at Aberdeen Maritime Museum

 

Anyone know of a supplier?

 

Or do any of you lovely people have random, un-accessioned shells you might be willing to pass on?

 

Planning to fill the shells with expanding foam (gap filler) or plaster to make them more resilient to grubby, grabby hands!…. Anyone had success with something like this?

 

Many thanks - Helen
