Pottery shop offers 'Painting By Nipples'

It gives a whole new meaning to the term “body art”. But instead of painting on their bodies, a group of women will be using their body parts to create art in a novel event to boost funds and awareness of breast cancer. It might sound a potty idea, but Jane Fox has devised a ‘Painting By Nipples’ event and is encouraging women to create and paint a ceramic piece using their breasts.

Jane, 42, owner of Fired 4 U pottery painting workshop, on Hennel Lane, Walton-le-Dale, near Preston, is raising cash for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Jane said: “It is a bit like when children use their hands and feet to create individual pieces of pottery, but instead, women can use the shape of their breasts to make a unique ceramic piece.



“Women can then paint a plate, mug or other item of their choice, either with paint brushes or using their breasts. It is a tongue-in-cheek fun event, but it will all be done very tastefully and screening will be provided so women can create their breast 
artwork in privacy.

“If some women don’t fancy taking part in breast art, they can just do ordinary pottery and painting. Painted ceramics make ideal presents and I’m sure husbands and boyfriends will welcome painted breasts on their work mug!” The event will take place on Wednesday October 27.
