GRINNING GARGOYLES

Date: Wednesday 1^st October

Venue: The Pump Room, The Crescent, Buxton, SK17 6BH

Times: 10.30 -15:00

 

Peering down from rooftops, hanging off the gutters, dribbling on passersby, playing with pigeons…there are Gargoyles on lots of the old buildings in Buxton

 

Artists from Creeping Toad and Stone and Water will be helping visitors make their own little gargoyles to take home. Our gargoyles might have wings, long tails, big claws, wobbly tongues. 

They might be friendly, or fierce. 

They might be beautiful or ugly. 

They might be dark or bright, glittery or fluffy. 

They might be all sorts of things, but they will definitely be wonderful!

 

This workshop is free and materials are provided

 

No booking needed, just drop by and join in: it probably takes about 30 – 45 minutes to make your gargoyle

 

Many thanks to our friends The Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust andThe Green Man Gallery for their support in this project
