Yeah...my face

Hi, I am Andy Sykes, the site creator. I have undergone many crockery tragedies recently and I want you to share yours with me. You can contact me in a number of ways
  • E-mail me at pjboysyko@yahoo.co.uk

  • You can send the crockery itself to this address:
    C/O Tony Eve
    ATTN Andrew Sykes
    Interactive Arts
    Faculty of Art and Design
    Manchester Metropolitan University
    Grosvenor Building
    Cavendish Street
    Manchester M15 6BR

  • If you study or work in the Art dept of Manchester Metropolitan University, you can give it to me in person (look for me in the Interactive Arts Studio)
You can send me photographs of broken, beloved crockery for me to mend digitally (make sure that you get all the pieces in shot so that I can do this). You can also send written accounts of how the crockery was broken, drawings, music inspired by the loss, or anything else that you can think of that is related to a crockery loss that you have had. You can send the broken piece of crockery itself and I will attempt to mend it with 'special glue'. I will then photograph the pieces and put them on the website. Unfortunately, I will not be able to return mended crockery through the post. This because the operation might well become very costly and complex if I were to get many international contributions. I also cannot take responsibility for loss or further breakages in the post. I am hoping that people's contributions may help others to overcome the trauma and come to terms with their own crockery losses. I can put all the crockery stories that I receive together with pictures of each item before and after mending in the Mended Crockery Section. People can come to look and realise that they are not the only ones suffering.
