The Ecton “GUTS”

The Ecton “GUTS”

 

So you couldn’t resist the temptation to find out what “GUTS” has to do with Ecton? 

 

Not a lot really except that one of our members, Jane Essex, has access to a delightful teaching aid for biologists - guts knitted by Carol Fereday -  complete with oesophagus, stomach, two sets of intestines (20 odd feet of them) and an appendix.

 

There is a picture of the guts below and Bob Thompson demonstrates how the guts are (is) used as a teaching aid; gradually removing this extensive knitted piece from his “abdomen”.

 

Does Bob add to his starring role in the Ecton Experience videos with a new take on “Eyeless in Gaza”: “Gutless in the Gazebo”?

 

If you would like a knitted guts please contact Jane Essex directly at:
