Final day at the Castle

eyeball pizza made for the twits banquet at eastnor castle herefordshireWe rounded off the flying potter pottery week at Eastnor Castle by making putrid pizza and rusty ol’ cutlery. Thankyou to all the participants who contributed their clay offerings to the collaborative piece.

Once fired and glazed we’ll display the works in the dry cleaners window in Ledbury high street. Probably in the Autumn? Watch this space!

Meanwhile here’s the photo’s I took from yesterday.

Smelly sardines

Posted on by

this smelly sardine formed part of a huge pottery foul feast in honour of roald dahls the twits at eastnor castle herefordshireDespite the torrential downpours and 1/2 the workshop tables were underwater, we pressed on with making the collaborative feast for the Twits.

Aptly, participants turned their creative skill to modelling a plate full of smelly sardines and foul fish. We also produced a plate of noses & chips!

Check out the rather soggy pics from yesterday.

Revolting cakes

Posted on by

horrible looking roald dahl's the twits inspired pottery cakes produced at eastnor castle herefordshireI think most people looked at the weather forcast for today and thought they’d make the most of the sunshine yesterday cos it was a really busy Tuesday at Eastnor Castle.

We aimed to produce a plate of disgusting cakes and ended up with a sheer mountain of confectionary. There were spiders, slugs and maggots emerging from rancid muffins and dodgy looking buns.

Participants have really warmed to the foul food theme inspired by Roald Dahl’s the twits and have made some incredibly horrible looking clay things.

We are well on track to produce a fantastic feast for Mr & Mrs Twit. We’ll be in the Castle 11am – 4.30pm. Hope to see you there!

disgusting clay work inspired by roald dahl's the twitsMonday at the Castle and families got to make the most horrible, foul and disgusting clay models….and participants certainly didn’t disappoint!

We used the unsavoury creations to decorate a giant fruit bowl. This exquisitely modeled hooter had all the accessories, warts & all!

Images from Monday’s pottery fun are featured here.
