Garden Gothic

Garden Decor for the Discerning

Garden Gothic creates handmade concrete statuary for indoors and out. Eccentric, eclectic and eminently collectable, our trolls, gargoyles, buddhas, planters, and assorted beasties will enliven any home.

It all started when...

…From our humble start at music festivals and street markets in England and Africa, we have been honing our craft and developing our range of unique garden statuary and house adornment at Renaissance Faires across the country since 1995. Inspired by history, myth, and outlandish imaginations, I sculpt our ideas in clay, he makes fiendishly accomplished moulds of my work, then casts in Rapidset (hydrolic cement - concrete, only stronger!), after which I do the coloration and finishing, then we both try to sell in between chatting. In addition to our ever expanding, super collectible range of Uncommon Garden Trolls, including the notorious Two-Faced Ted and his delightful partner, Duplicitous Donna, we offer a wide range of Green Men, our Zen Pets (the Meditating Kitties and Puppies) and Buddhas in a variety of shapes and sizes, Jonsno and Ygritte the owls, Jerimiah (the bullfrog) and Elton (the horny-backed toad), Gremlins Erimentha and Ethan, and the pride of my collection, a rendition of the Isle of Lewis chess pieces. If you have been to the New York Renaissance Faire in the past 25 years, you will know us and/or our work, and we are now a decade long fixture (opposite the Mud Show) at the Bristol Renaissance Faire every summer. We can also be seen at the Ohio Renaissance Festival in the Fall, the Sarasota Medieval Festival every November (now at a magical new site beyond Lakewood Ranch), and now at the most wonderful Earth Elements Apothecary booth at the Georgia Renaissance Festival in the spring, but you may have encountered us at Hoggetowne, BARF, FlaRF, TRF, Michigan, or Minnesota over the years. While our beasties are weighty, we guarantee that each piece is built to last in all weathers - and fully house-trained.

Please note that at this point we are not able to ship individual pieces - HUGE apologies for this, hopefully this will be temporary, and we can arrange personal pick up at any of our show sites during the run of those shows, or from our winter base in Sarasota, Florida from November to May.
