beastie banquet

lisa prince and i had an idea to make a victoriana style boars held jelly mould.  simultaneously, local ceramicists polly and kaorou (whose shop luna and curious is round the corner from us on brick lane) were making a cows head cheese platter…  tom and david put us in touch with each other and we brainstormed ideas for an entire dinner service, playing on casting from real, dead animals and victoriana imagery to make a beautiful banquet dinner set.  

Beastie-full-set

polly and kaurou have been casting from dead chickens heads and pigs trotters and similar.  lisa and i have kept our hands clean, but minds grotesque.  its really an ideas collaboration!
