About

Come and see the construction of the well dressings behind a garage behind the Mechanics Institute on Market Street and find out more about this ancient custom that’s unique to Derbyshire. The design is marked from paper onto the clay and is then outlined in wool before natural materials are used to ‘colour in’ the pattern.
