The Tide Stays In!

In tropical heat to-day, some 40 people called into the Green Man Gallery for some determined "Knitting of a new landscape"

It was great! There were needles knitting, crochets hooking and alarming needle-felt barbs avoiding people's fingers. Seaweed was knotted and jellyfish ribboned and wobbled. A lot of the new creations were placed in the window display by their makers

And the Gallery has asked for our Ancient Landscape to stay in the window for another week!

The Next High Tide

The Next High Tide

Sunday 7th - Sunday 14th July

The Green Man Gallery, Buxton

Window display: our ancient tide will wash into The Green Man Gallery again as part of the Buxton Festival Fringe. So pop into the Gallery and among the prints, paintings, photos and thrills on display, have a peaceful moment beside our prehistoric world, soothed by the gentle corals, graceful seaweeds and occasional nautiloids…..and if the Gallery is closed, you can always swim past the window and send us the photos of yourself....

and when you want to join in…..

Knitting A New Landscape

Sunday 14th July

Times: 11.00 - 16.00 (last new activities at 3.30)

Join us for a frivolous day in Carboniferous Derbyshire being adventurous and ambitious. We want to spin our Ancient Landscape out of the window and across the gallery with seaweeds waving from ceilings, tentacles from nameless seabeasts crawling across the floor, giant corals lumping in corners and fingerfish flashing through this ancient world…

We'll bring wool, crochet hooks, felting needles, card, glue, pencils, crayons and tape. Please bring your own knitting needles.
