Relational Event
Material
Local speciality foods, local interest groups, summer fete.
Information.
The staff canteen at Spode was the site for union meetings, political resistance, camaraderie and communal meals, whilst the methodist chapels of Waddington and Wellingore provided a different context for breaking bread and sharing lives. This supper of local speciality foods celebrates values of 'mucking-in' and 'lending a hand' that linger in village communities and rediscovers a forgotten local tradition - the stuffed chine supper.

100 limited edition bone china commemorative tankards
Made in Stoke-on-Trent to celebrate rural Lincolnshire.
Influenced by the colour blue of the surviving pieces of Waddington chapel earthenware and the bird of pray hovering over the village on the artist’s site visit. The bird is a poor quality digital rendition chosen to contrast the fineness of bone china. The bone china speaks back to the rural context through the inclusion of ground bovine bones.
