POT & HOLLY

Rachel’s childhood was much like many childhoods of the late 50s and early 60s. There was regular church attendance and a degree of order and conformity to her life that she didn’t miss when she began university. Her childhood had been privileged and largely happy but she relished the 70s and the new freedom of a less stratified society. At Norwich she met Steve and Abdhul. Abdhul left to travel across India and Steve and Rachel moved into a commune. They were joined by Rachel’s friend Eileen. Rachel wrote to Abdhul about her friend and when he returned to England Abdhul and Eileen began dating, they later married. Abdhul made this seaweed pattern pot and gave it to Rachel when Eileen left the shared barn. Rachel has now passed it on to her daughter Holly.
