For over 70 years, Clowns International – the oldest established clowning organization – has been painting the faces of its members on eggs. Each one is a record of a clown`s unique identity, preserving the unwritten rule that no clown should copy another`s look. At first they were painted on real eggshells, then later (when they kept breaking) on to ceramic eggs, most of which are now housed at the Wookey Hole Clowns` Museum. Here images from this extraordinary archive are accompanied by the stories of the men and women behind the make-up.
