Big Chill ’09

Zombies
Thursday – Channel Four and Warp films, made a successful attempt to break the world record for the most number of Zombie film extras in one shot. Festival goers congregated in front of the main stage, all made up as the living dead, and ready to ‘star’ in the film ‘ I Spit on Your Rave!’ Noel Fielding stars in the film and led proceedings from the stage.
Medieval Madness
Each summer I’m lucky enough to work at Worcester Museum and Art Gallery: www.worcestercitymuseums.org.uk
This time the workshops had a medieval flavour. In the morning I worked with families – everybody having a go on the potter’s wheel to make a ‘Tyg’ jug.
After lunch I worked with 7-12 year olds. We all made mini ‘Motte and Bailey’ castles using slab and coiling techniques.
One Wheel on My Wagon!
Where would I be without my trolley?! Ready for the off after a tiring but rewarding session with a children’s holiday club, at Badsey First School, near Evesham.
A Feathery Tune!
There’s something very musical when the swifts and swallows congrigate on the telegraph wires outside the Pottery. Each year, I always consider taking a photo of the birds but never get around to it!
