Pottery Piggies!
make your own!
Sunday 9th June
JUST A FEW PLACES LEFT!
From ancient
oracular pigs to to the terrible Twrch Twyth, from engimatic carved
Pictish boars to hogsback Viking tombs, pigs lie in the history and
mythology of this land. You might sing the Boar's Head Carol at
Midwinter or simply enjoy the gruntling of piglets, but we hope that
pigs matter to you as well. Now, join us for a bit of pig-making.....
Work with potter Sue Blatherwick to design and make your very own pottery piggy bank. Sticky clay and messy hands, fascinating colours and exciting shapes, our Piggies will add an extra delight to our season of Hoards
Venue: Dove Valley Centre, Longnor
Places: free but must be booked in advance
Book at: Pottery Piggy Banks
We'll be thinking about ways of keeping treasures safe, holding, hoarding, hiding them until.....Will you make a smiling cheerful little pig filling up happily with stray 5ps? Or will your Piggy be a blundering Boar, all bristles and tusks and ready to defend your pennies as fiercely as any dragon? Sticky clay and messy hands, fascinating colours and exciting shapes, our Piggies will add an extra delight to our season of Hoards.
