About
Find out more about the ancient custom of well dressing by watching the team at work.
Our artist creates the design which is then traced onto the clay frame. This is followed by ‘wooling’ – using black wool to outline the design. Volunteers then lay dry materials such as peppercorns, wheat and sweetcorn onto the clay ‘colouring in’ the design. This is followed by fresh petals, leaves etc later in the week, as these will be the first to fade.
