Steve Lawes Arts

I’ll be cohosting this 5-day course with @stevelawesarts.bsky.social. It will be messy and smelly but also lots of fun. Come and experience the practical side of medieval manuscript making!

Thank you kindly! ❤️

A few years ago I invented (or think I did) Fibonacci Celtica. This practice brings knotwork and the idea of fractals together, scaling the grid system in order to create endless loops that get bigger and smaller as you trace them.

Thanks so much! 💪❤️

Thanks! That's a whole obsession of mine, especially tying it to modern hip hop culture, as a quintessentially global-yet-British phenomena. I feel medieval culture and hip hop have a lot in common 😂 - more at my website and Instagram

Morning Bluesky. I paint #runestones portraying UK rappers. I see them as the inheritors of ancient Bardic Britain, and our best social commentators. Here are a few of them! May be of interest to some on #medievalsky , and if it exists yet, #rapsky or #hiphopsky

#ukrap #ukhiphop #runes

It's basically the only feed I watch on here 🤣

Are you in the Discussion of Celtic Art group on Facebook? Most productive and friendly social group for like-minded folk I've found x

Starter pack of #celtic and #nordic artists here. May be of interest to #medievalsky followers! ❤️

Thanks for including me! ❤️

#Manuscripts #Medieval

Talking to audience and participants at my summer project, teaching the Peasants Revolt to kids in Basildon. They learnt the history, made all props and backdrops, and acted out the history of the Revolt in a movement-based piece.

More projects coming very soon! #artscouncil #history #medievalsky

Love the idea. I make stuff at the boundary between visionary art and medieval/Celtic art. Gouache painting and drawing mostly

Another autumnal offering merging my loves of visionary/psychedelic art with Celtic and medieval! #medievalsky

Anything by Hildegard of Bingen 😂

I make art about ancient/medieval Britain! 🙏

Been a long time follower of yours on FB and Instagram (hey from the UK - pleasure to make your acquaintance!) and empathise with a lot of what you've had to say about social media reach etc over the years as a freelance artist. Hope we find what we need here!

Calling this one "the green man in winter"

Oh how terrible. If you see him please do tell him I send my best, if he remembers me! And all the best with your new project Damien, glad you're still going strong x

Oh no! The guys who were there during silk river? I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 lovely folk

Do you still work with that couple from before?? They were lovely 😍

Dunno if you saw my comment below here but I'd be super interested in this. I collaborate with a historian at the IHR and also a theatre company in making local histories accessible

I'm an artist and am running a hands on intensive week on medieval bookmaking for beginners in summer at the Institute of English Studies in London! I collaborate with a scholar who makes her own pigments and materials etc

First parish church Doom painting in 500 years unveiled Artwork based on traces of original that decorated the chancel arch and followed close examination of paintings that remain

#medievalsky I painted this Doom recreation for a church in Essex and made the Telegraph. "First Doom painting in 500 years using traditional materials", they reckoned.

Quick intro!

I'm an artist using medieval history and research to inspire what I make. I run community education projects centred on making medieval Britain and local histories accessible. I've been featured in the Sunday Telegraph and once went viral after a meme-war with my namesake at UKIP
Hi!

Im teaching at the Summer School here in June! 😁

You know how it is, gotta keep it REALLY old to stay fresh!

I never used twitter but it seems like this place might be where you've all come to talk about your trauma?? Am I in the right room?

Easter themed Carpet page from earlier this year.

All the paints were hand made by @saracharles.bsky.social using medieval recipes and authentic materials.

This is A3 so rather large for a carpet page! Took me about a month #artist #medievalart #traditionalart #britishart

I'm an artist with MA in medieval history. I collaborate with theatre groups to create plays based around historical moments, and teach art courses inspired by medieval stuff in order to keep the history alive 💪
