Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit that is, at the Emma Bridgewater factory and shop. We popped in yesterday morning for a coffee in the café and a look around the hidden garden which is looking wonderful.
Beautiful purple Alliums
Blue Delphiniums
Pink Lupins and Poppies.
Peter was in the courtyard in front of the café.
The statue of Peter Rabbit was made in collaboration by Wild in Art artist Jina Gelder and Emma Bridgewater Head of Design, Sophie Gilmour using the sponge ware patterns for the new pottery designs celebrating the birth of Beatrix Potter 160 years ago. More information - here.
Peter Rabbit is to move to the North East as part of the Tales on the Tyne sculpture trail in aid of the St Oswald Hospice.
Peter Rabbit is an enduring character who is always popular with all ages. He and all the others will be auctioned on October 13th in aid of the hospice.
