About Spook-tacular Scultpures: Make Your Own Gargoyle!
Visitors are invited to take inspiration from the grotesque guardians that adorn Oxford’s historic buildings and create their own air-dry clay monster to take home.
Whether it has wings, scales, lizard tongues, or pointy teeth, each gargoyle will be a unique masterpiece. The sessions are led by artist Kate Castleden.
There are 3 sessions, each session is 1 hour: 11.00am to 12.00pm, 1.00pm to 2.00pm, 2.30pm to 3.30pm.
Please make sure to arrive on time. A 10 minute grace period is allowed for late arrivals. After this point, admission to the activity cannot be guaranteed.
