You might recall before Christmas we had a visitor, Jenny Wilding from Aardman Animations. Jenny set us a challenge, we were all given a plasticine kit and asked to make our own Morph. The competition was intense. There were squid Morphs, William Tell Morphs, zombie Morphs, Adam & Eve Morphs… all worthy efforts. Aardman judged the entires, and chose a winner…

‘Two Heads, One Hand’ Morph… By me.
There was even a prize:

This wonderful Wallace & Gromit Were-Rabbit fine art print, signed and numbered by Nick Park. Cracking stuff.

Thank you very much to Jenny for coming all the way to see us, and to Sam, Lucy and Donna for organising the event.
