Events for May 2008

Pershore Heritage Centre - 'Royal Visits'

It's known that Aethelflaeda, the daughter of King Alfred, often visited the early monastery at Pershore, whilst relics of his grand-daughter, acquired for the abbey, resulted in the town becoming something of a pilgrimage centre.  It's said that King John would pray at St. Andrews en route for Worcester and it's thought that Queen Elizabeth once stayed at ‘The Angel', then an active coaching inn on the road from London to Aberystwyth.

Mark Hancock - 'Delicate & with a Difference'

Mark specialises in high quality turned decorative and functional bowls and individual vessels using simple designs to bring out the natural beauty and variations in colour, texture and figuring of local timbers. Most of his recent work is more an exploration of line and form rather than an effort at an artistic statement. He turns thin walled vessels and with each piece strives to make a perfect form or at least something a little closer to it than anything he has done before. Then, trying to achieve the purist possible curve, areas are carved away adding life and movement to each piece.
