Weird, it works just after I post it but seems to get shut down

Correct Link!: Opening the kiln is always a little nerve wracking but, if I do say so myself, the latest batch of replica, Nene Valley, barbotine decorated, Roman colour coated Hunt Cups, have come out looking rather splendid! Get them before they sell out. share.google/PmpCsh2Z8CQx...

Hey @tessmachling.bsky.social @drtobydriver.bsky.social @claireboardman.bsky.social
The other day I bought a thesaurus, but when I got home and opened it, all the pages were blank.
I have no words to describe how angry I am.

Roman lead rivets we're often cast in situ, whereas bronze, copper or iron rivets have enough spring to hammer into place.

A reddish Roman samian ware bowl with richly figurative and geometric decoration, its surface pierced and repaired with several lead rivets.

Fascinating glimpse into everyday Roman life: This samian ware bowl was repaired with lead rivets, clear evidence that it was valued enough to mend rather than discard.
The repair reflects either the practical mindset and economic realities of a Roman household, or it may have been a...🧵1/3

Growing up with a sister who has a learning disability, I’ve seen people shout the R word at her. That was in the 80s and 90s. Now we’re in the 2020s and I am seeing world leaders and tech leaders use it and I cannot begin to tell you how devastating that is.

Got a new medieval replica mug from my potter atelierable.nl.
Yay, I can get properly drunk again!

Today, November 29th I'm at Ad Gefrin, Museum and Distillery in Wooler, Northumberland. I'll be making replicas of Post-Roman/Anglo-Saxon pottery. Lots of other craftspeople and local food producers here. Come along if you're in the area 🏺

The picture shows six needles of different sizes. They were made of bone resemble their modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

Very glad to do another round today of making Opus Signinum as part of our experimental archaeology class with students on my Material Culture: Methods course on our two-year MA programme @dependencybonn.de

No, my ancestors fought long and hard for the welfare state, not letting it go without a fight. Problem is too many people take the carp that Reform spout, without any understanding of the consequences!

My point I think!

And the Taxes go to pay for stuff like....... ah, yes! Welfare payments....

I absolutely cannot understand what political goal Badenoch thinks she’s accomplishing here. If nothing else, she’s directly invited the Archbishop of Canterbury to weigh in, and she must know she’ll disagree.

Crown Studio Gallery is CLOSED this afternoon- as @pottedhistory.bsky.social and I are going out for lunch. Online sales are unaffected! crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com

I'll be back on duty tomorrow! Wrapping, packing, posting out orders and chatting to my lovely customers.

Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui Now that my former classmate has finally spoken about the allegations of his behaviour at school, I feel compelled to address his points directly, says Peter Ettedgui, a film director and producer

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

Archaeology without getting soil under your fingernails.

I think what makes that most interesting is that it's easiest to achieve with the pot on a turntable.

Almost certainly done using the same tool that executed the cross hatching on the side.

The base of a black prehistoric pottery vessel, held in the red nail varnished hands of an archaeologist, showing an area of decoration, comprising a series of squiggles, scored into the fabric prior to firing

The base of a 2,000 year old, Late Iron Age Durotrigian style Black Burnished Ware bowl from Winterborne Kingston #Dorset

A series of squiggles were scored into the fabric prior to firing - decoration, doodle or pot-makers mark?

I think it's a single line, clockwise, spiralling out from the centre (dominant right hand?). But I'm going to have to have a go at drawing it later... 🤣

Whatever, it's confident, flowing.. one of those wonderful, very brief, moments in time that we rarely see...
