Extraordinary jelly-sculptors Bompas and Parr (previous post) are also organising the creation of a punchbowl so big you could row a boat across it for London's Architectural Punchbowl (via Spoonfed.
"The Architectural Punchbowl will contain over 4,000 litres of a brand new cocktail featuring Courvoisier’s exclusive mixing cognac Exclusif."
Tasty!
Architectural Punchbowl at 33 Portland Place, London w1.
8th-10th December.
Amazing sculptural and glow in the dark jellies from Bompas and Parr.
In their own words:
"Bompas & Parr creates fine English jellies, designs bespoke jelly moulds and curates spectacular culinary events.
The work of Bompas & Parr operates in the space between food and architecture. Our projects explore how the taste of food is altered through synaesthesia, performance and setting. Currently the focus of our research is jelly: jelly is the perfect site for an examination of food and architecture due to its uniquely plastic form and the historic role it has played in exploring notions of taste."
Down with cake! Long live the jelly!
A few snaps from my short break in Krakow last week. The Natural History museum, the salt mines, the camps at Auschwitz and the city.
Put these on the Christmas wishlist, please!

Hanna Hedman makes organic-shaped adornments that are reminiscent of shimmery cast-off snake skins or the random patterns formed by a bacteria colony in a petri dish, a piece of honeycomb, or a decaying leaf.
Lovely as anything.
