Christopher Sacre, who led our pinch-pot workshops at the Canterbury Pageant has kindly sent us some pictures. Outside: a splendidly arrayed procession recreates the years when the shrine of Thomas Becket made Canterbury an important place for medieval pilgrimage. Inside: among the diffused light and stained glass of the church, Canterbury youth decide there’s more than a passing resemblance between medieval gargoyles and tentacled space aliens. Their traditional ‘mazer’ pots have a modern twist!
The Medieval parade passes St Peter’s Church where we are having a workshop
to make a ‘mazer’, pinch bowl.
Here’s one of many children who took part of making a traditional ‘mazer’
pinch bowl using clay.
More pinch pots from the workshop
The workshop took place at the front of the church in a light, airy space
near the altar
As we are in the 21st Century some of the children decided to give the pinch bowl a modern twist!
