12 Days of Christmas
Kerry Goodwin’s brilliant Twelve Days of Christmas collection was always going to be a very special design. The cumulative English folk song was the source of inspiration for an enterprising Kerry and inevitably a plethora of collective Christmas icons stepped forth from the glistening confines of fine art pottery.
Sometimes there can be no better way to express Christmas excitement than to burst into song. It is quite a strange phenomenon that we should ritually repeat these jingles to ourselves in aid of the festive atmosphere year after year. Nonetheless, Moorcroft relishes yuletide cheer, and quite unlike other companies, the Works are closed for the whole of Christmas right through to the New Year so that both staff and our Club Members can spend time with loved ones and relax. That is not to say that we are denied the flurry of activity and excitement in the build-up to Christmas. Indeed, Christmas day is often the climax to weeks of cumulative excitement. A song that certainly reflects this is the Twelve Days of Christmas. This cumulative and familiar English folk song was the source of inspiration for an enterprising Kerry Goodwin.
