Mr Watt, Grumpy Man of Metal

Enginuity

20 Sep 2012 – 31 Aug 2013

Don't miss our fantastic exhibition of whimsical metal sculptures when you visit Enginuity.

The fascinating exhibition, by blacksmith artist Jon Mills, features fun and whimsical sculptures showing the many adventures of Mr Watt, Grumpy Man of Metal. Mr Watt, the central character in a series of illustrated books that appeal to both young and old alike, lives in a curious metal world and makes many unusual metal objects, such as a crab’s bicycle, a flying machine and a new kind of trumpet.

Visitors will also be able to see other sculptures including the runaway train from the book ‘On the Wrong Track’, the parson and his church from ‘Under Wear and Tear’, the witch from ‘A Brush with Evil’ and the astro-barrow from ‘Space… the Final Front Door’.

The exhibition will be open daily until 31 August 2013 and is included in the admission price for Enginuity.
