It’s been a week long craft-a-thon in the Superette studio! All hands are on deck to finish our GIANT game of Rock'n'Roll tiddlywinks for the V&A Village Fete this weekend. The V&A is once again showcasing stalls by the best up and coming British designers, artists and makers, and this year it’s their tenth anniversary so it’s a jubilee style celebration! We’re very excited about getting our game rolling... but first, we want to give you a little sneaky-peek behind the scenes so you can check out our progress.
Leah, LLROK’s full time recruit, has been cracking on with the making of the star attraction - two giant kittens! The whole concept is inspired by Leona's two favourite things her kittens Joey and Dee Dee and the Ramones. It's been a blast seeing them scaled up to nearly 8ft in height! Crikey! Leah's a fan of all animals so this has been a really fun project for her and she’s been able to put her illustration skills to good use.
Fine Art graduate Alice has been going paint crazy with the rock ‘n’ roll radio! After a serious degree in the arts, Alice is happy to be making something fun, quirky and girly! She came up with the ‘look’ with friend Julia – they decided on bright colours and chunky features that resemble an old school 70’s boom box, taking inspiration from Leona’s favourite film ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll High School.’
We’ll be hosting our game from a circus style kiosk and today Chantal has been laying red vinyl onto a sheet of oilcloth to create the roof part. Last but not least Leona has been tweaking the rules of the game which go a little something like this...
1-2-3-4! Bop over to the Lady Luck Rules OK stand for a frenzied game of Rock’n’Roll Tiddlywinks. Once we’ve pressed play on the Rock’n’Roll Radio you have a 30 second snippet of a Ramones track to throw your ‘winks through a series of targets cut from a pair of GIANT kittens. Take aim to win a super cute necklace which has been specially designed for the Village Fete. Hey Ho, Lets Throw!
Hope you can come along and see our finished stand in all it's glory! Hope it'll be finished in time...
Entry to the fete costs £3 adults, 50p children. Tickets will be made available for purchase on the day from 18.00 on Friday 24 July and 12.30 on Saturday 25 July. Places are limited so arrive as early as you can!
