My first shift as a studio tech officially on Friday - it was so much fun. Here’s some marbled clay saucers I completed. Hyper focused production is something I am yet to master!

Your absolute all time favourite!

Another AJ ALLEN piece. This time a 60s/70s bar stool.
So wholesome to connect with my heritage & family like this. My thanks to an American friend who spotted it on eBay. If you have an AJ Allen piece of furniture - I’d love to hear from you!

Omg! 🤩🤩🤩

Ahh this is great to see! Thanks for sharing. Have been exploring sgraffito in my ceramics, but it’s so ace to see it as a surface finish 👌🏼

Thank you Geoff!

Series of incised horizontal lines, representing staves for music notations? Some of which was seen pencilled in with notations rather than carved - using stone as a practice sheet perhaps whilst waiting on steps? If these walls could sing?

Sgraffito:

A form of plaster decoration where the surface is scratched away to reveal the layer beneath, often in a contrasting colour.

The ginormous Roman Snails, helix pomatia, found at North Leigh Roman Villa - a popular delicacy of Romano-British cuisine, brought in over c.1,800 years ago! #snail #ecology #history #archaeology #cuisine

We have some excellent abstract/summaries for the WtPTwo2026 event and you will soon find out what a great day this will be. We have had only one contribution from an architectural practice, and this is surprising given how many of you are conservation accredited and specifying lime -do get in touch

This chap was spotted over Xmas, close to Kilchoan.

So happy to have finally seen the northern lights over my house in south-west!

Thanks @limefinishes.bsky.social for the heads up (from all the way in Scotland!)

Wheel and space to rent in Exeter!
I will also have a weekly rentable Rhode HMT600 wheel next month. Pass info on to anyone you may know who would be interested!

Some of Octobers work. Reflecting on some of the brilliant Bronze Age decorated ware before spending the day in the studio tomorrow.

Thank you!

These old houses deserve to be studied as systematically & as seriously as Ostia or Knossos or Ur" The more I read of William Pantin, the more I admire him

Any buildings archaeologists use LiDAR apps to record rooms/ buildings? If so, what do you use/ recommend please? I’d like to trial and add to record if poss (of course not replacing traditional recording methods & site camera)

They certainly don’t make them like they used to… or do they.

Small disused boat shed, with lots of narrative development just from its surviving snippets of surface finish.
