Cabinet of Curiosity are delivering a Grand Constructions project inspired by Darlington’s engineering and construction heritage. Further details of the Grand Constructions programme are below. There are opportunities to download a selection of paper-toy making templates and to have a go at making the models below yourself from the programme website https://www.cabinetofcuriositystudio.com/pages/grand-constructions , with all four templates available from 1st October 2021.

As part of the project Cabinet of Curiosity delivered workshops during Darlington Arts Festival 2021 involving c 40 participants who made their own model of Darlington Clock Tower. If you’re visiting Darlington Library there are some of the paper-toy making templates printed onto card available alongside a display of the models which can be made. The paper-toy making templates of Darlington Clock Tower are printed at A3 on card and you can take one for free with only scissors and glue (e.g. a glue stick) required to make the models, while stocks last.
