It was the Starcross Strawberry Fair on Saturday, 27th June, at St Paul's Church. As well as the traditional cream tea (jam on top) there were scrumptious strawberry cakes and strawberry flans.
Everyone was intrigued to see Starcross artist Vicky Jocher's sketches of her innovative design for the sculpture of The Swan of the Exe. These sketches won't be published online yet, but the sculpture is no longer just a static reproduction of a boat with a swan's head. Vicky's concept of this sculpture is dramatic, with incredible movement and life.
If you want to know more about it, and how you can help, please comment below or come to our meeting on Wednesday July 8th, 7:30pm in the new pavilion on Starcross Sportsfield. Afterwards, we'll walk across the sportsfield to see the almost completed sculpture, which is to be installed on the sculpture trail on Teignmouth seafront the following week.
Meanwhile, here's last week's random swan doodle from Vicky.
And here's Vicky's photograph of the model of The Swan of the Exe and the Cygnet in the window of Topsham Museum
