Bottle It & Bag ‘em!

Captain Cook Memorial Museum has joined forces with Rachael Boddington, the brainchild of ‘Glittermoth Factory,’ to present a special 1 day Fish Crafting Workshop where kids of all ages can enjoy decorating, bottling and netting their own 3-D fish inclusive of the museum entry fee.

Rachael is known locally as ‘that girl who makes the mermaids’ and is keen to share her unique brand of conceptual artwork with youngsters who have an interest in capturing their own creativity. All artworks made can be taken home and kept as souvenirs.

Bottle It & Bag ‘em! is part of the current exhibition Fish & Ships - A Journey Round the World at Captain Cook’s Table’, telling the story of naval rations and eating habits of the Georgian era. Exhibition highlights include several pieces of the original Resolution dinner service, a full scale reconstruction of the Endeavour stove and Sir Joseph Banks' 18th Century portable cooking apparatus, on loan from Skaill House, Orkney and The Royal Geographical Society, London.

Come along and be part of the Fish Preserving Fun on Sunday 21st August, 10am-4pm

Rachael recently re-painted this 'end of the pier' Punch and Judy board, which she originally designed, made and painted back in 2006.  Ah, the humble make-yourself-look-silly-so-your-mates-can-have-a-laugh holiday classic. 3-part board with hinged, stripy, fold-out triangular side supports, all in need of an overhaul. Local Signwriter, Pete Witney, and family were kind enough to loan Rachael a corner of their workshop for such a task. Much sandpaper, wood preserver, paint and varnish later, the Punch and Judy board was ready to carry on amusing...

June and July proved to be busy old months, what with 2 bustling fairs and several interesting commissions. 
After a hearty smattering of sales and a day of chatter with those treat seeking regulars and fellow crafty types at Holmfirth’s Contemporary Art Market 12th June, Rachael wheeled her suitcases, rugs and chattels along the breezy west cliff, early on the 21st July, to be met by a whirl of shoppers at the Whitby Pavilion Vintage Fair.
A dreamy room of glitz, aged fabric finery, subtle gramophone ambience and luscious nick-nacks had enticed people from far and wide. Hats off to Caroline of ‘Rose & Brown’ for working such wonders with the marketing. Rose & Brown even organized a splendid picnic lunch day trip, transporting 20 of their regular Saltaire customers to their Whitby event on a streamlined 1950s coach! Rachael's stall was a near sell out and she tottered back home later on in the day with only a box of stall trimmings and a couple of things that were just too 'way out there' to find themselves a new home.
