About the Event
Hello, I am Helen, a potter based in Dockray.
In discussions with Friends of the Ullswater Way, a local historical and literary interest group, potentially proposing 2023 a Year of Art in Ullswater I immediately thought of daffodils. So, in a similar vein to the 2014 Tower of London poppies I will be making 10,000+ ceramic daffodils - per Wordsworth's famous poem. They will be 'planted' at the magnificent Lowther Castle, near Penrith and on the Ullswater Way route, for viewing from April - June next year.
After the display ends at Lowther the daffodils will be sold and I aim to generate £250,000+ for five charities (more details below).
I am seeking a minimum of £5 per donation to support the production of the daffodils.Your donation will cover the cost of materials and marketing of the project. The labour involved is all through volunteers. Any surplus materials and equipment…
