Your week in clay! I love the mutant vegetables, thanks for that suggestion, you know who you are 😆🥑🍅🥕🍆🥦
And on Friday I’m very much looking forward to a bonus of plasticine portrait making with @CraftFestival's for the first day of #digitalcraftfestival🙌

"Warning as lead and arsenic wash up on beach."

Remember those plastic beads now washing up along a 70 mile stretch of the English coast, the ones belonging to Southern Water that they told you were inert and totally harmless?

Turns out they're contaminated with lead, arsenic and cadmium amongst other things.

And @EnvAgency does what exactly?

@MuseumCommodore This was the first game I ever played on the Amiga and from the front of the box to the many many times I died I loved every second of it.
Great sound and music as well

[Jim Parkyn @jimparkyn]

@MuseumCommodore Got through a few and the micro switch noise drove my mum nuts but was such a great joystick

@JamesMoir10 Brilliantly captures them! My favourite as well

We had great fun delivering Careers in Animation workshops at Castleton Primary with @jimparkyn! Thanks to staff and pupils for their warm welcome. We were impressed by how well everyone worked together and the care the young people put into their animations. #ncw2025 #animation

Congrats to #BenElton on winning the @aardman #Slapstick Comedy Legend Award!

Thank you to Aardman for continuing to support the festival for over 20 years 👏

It was brilliant having Ben in conversation with @adamhillscomedy y'day at @BristolOldVic, tag us in any photos 📸

Ben Elton gets the Slapstick/ Aardman Comedy Legend Award at the culmination of the very good 2025 @slapstickfest. This was the 20th Slapstick and I’ve been at all of them. It’s another example of one of the things that’s good about Bristol - festivals you don’t get elsewhere.

@Jimbo_McGibbits @MuseumCommodore Mine too!

This is massive

Supreme Court rules WCs can sued for nuisance or trespass for dumping sewage even if “There has been no negligence or deliberate misconduct”, by the WC

That opens the way for 1,000s of claims by fishing clubs, swimmers, riparian owners against WCs. WOW just WOW!

@Ornsack I prefer their early stuff anyway!#dogturdsglastonburylive

Am thrilled that I got to design and make Don Quixote Morph for Terry Gilliams Award for Visual Comedy
It is a proud moment to know that he is the owner of something I had a hand in after having enjoyed his work for so many years. Thanks to @SlapstickFest for involving me.

[Slapstick Festival @SlapstickFest]

It has been such a pleasure to have visionary director Terry Gilliam as a part of #Slapstick2024 and to present him with the @Aardman Slapstick Award for Visual Comedy!
