  • 'Amazing but absurd': how worm-charming is drawing Cornish art back to its roots
    DUKAS_155617879_EYE
    'Amazing but absurd': how worm-charming is drawing Cornish art back to its roots
    Among artist Georgia Gendall's projects is a riotous annual competition to lure these creatures from the soil - hopefully shifting some local cliches with them.

    In a field in Falmouth, a crowd is preparing for battle. "I don't hug my enemies!" one friend tells another as they register for the town's third annual Worm Charming Championships. It's a war on two fronts: between man and beast, as we attempt to lure recalcitrant earthworms out of the community centre sports pitch, and between the 100 plots, each occupied by a team hoping to win one of three invertebrate-themed trophies.

    Worm charming - or grunting, or fiddling - is an age-old art and an established competitive sport of several decades: a notched wooden stick is scraped close to the earth, the vibrations mimicking the rhythms of rain to bring worms up to the earth, where they are harvested for bait. But on this bright blue Sunday afternoon in Cornwall, traditional methods pale in comparison with the unconventional (and it's a peaceful operation: all worms caught will be returned to the wild).

    Georgina Glendall, the organiser of the event.

    'Amazing but absurd': how worm-charming is drawing Cornish art back to its roots
    Among artist Georgia Gendall's projects is a riotous annual competition to lure these creatures from the soil - hopefully shifting some local cliches with them.

    In a field in Falmouth, a crowd is preparing for battle. "I don't hug my enemies!" one friend tells another as they register for the town's third annual Worm Charming Championships. It's a war on two fronts: between man and beast, as we attempt to lure recalcitrant earthworms out of the community centre sports pitch, and between the 100 plots, each occupied by a team hoping to win one of three invertebrate-themed trophies.

    Worm charming - or grunting, or fiddling - is an age-old art and an established competitive sport of several decades: a notched wooden stick is scraped close to the earth, the vibrations mimicking the rhythms of rain to bring worms up to the earth, where they are harvested for bait. But on this bright blue Sunday afternoon in Cornwall, traditional methods pale in comparison with the unconventional (and it's a peaceful operation: all worms caught will be returned to the wild).
