Be inspired by the grotesque guardians of Oxford’s buildings and make your own air dry clay monster to take home! Wings or scales, lizard tongues or pointy teeth… what will your gargoyle look like?!

These sessions are led by Kate Castleden.

There are 3 sessions, each session is 1 hour: 11.00-12.00, 13.00-14.00, 14.30-15.30

Please make sure to arrive on time. We allow a 10 minute grace period for late arrivals. After this point, we cannot guarantee admission to the activity.

This workshop is suitable for ages 5-11.
