Media Reviews
Sophisticated, fun and different The Scotsman; It would be hard to look a plate of whitebait in the face after an encounter with the Kidd's popeyed dough sculptures. The fun factor of turning food into art and the sheer craziness of the setting make it a winner The Times Educational Supplement
Author Bio
Richard Kidd studied painting at Newcastle University before taking up a scholarship at the British School at Rome. After several years of teaching at Newcastle University, he went to America in 1980, to spend a year in San Francisco and six years in New York on a Harkness Fellowship. Lindsey Kidd studied fine art and sculpture at Preston Polytechnic and became a mannequin modeller. She has been creating salt-dough models for several years, and it was one of her Christmas lobster decorations which inspired her husband, Richard Kidd, to write Monsieur Thermidor.
