The owner of a pottery painting business in Sidmouth, shut down during the coronavirus crisis, has launched a ‘design your own mug’ competition.
Em Swallow of Something Lovely, in Libra Court, said she needed to ‘do something positive’ after the closure on Friday, March 20, caused a ‘roller-coaster of emotions’.
The competition is open to adults and children, with several different age groups for entrants under 18.
A PDF document with a template for the mug is available to download and print from the Something Lovely website.
Entrants should draw their design on the template and send it in by post or email.
The winners in each category will receive a mug painting kit in the post. When the studio is up and running again, the painted mugs can be brought in for firing.
Everyone who enters will receive a 10 per cent off voucher to be redeemed when the studio reopens.
The closing date for entries is Friday, May 1.
They should be sent to em@somethinglovelypottery.co.uk or 11, Alexandria Road, Sidmouth, EX10 9HD.
