Wonderful visit to the National Museum of Ireland with @liber-ray.bsky.social. Glad to see some ogham in the 'Words on the Wave' exhibition, including the Moynagh Lough ogham recently discussed by the #OG_H_AM team @davidstifter.bsky.social @3dgroovanstones.bsky.social @ndefaoite.bsky.social

Happy International Day of Ogham! Although the OG(H)AM project has sadly now finished, work on ogham continues. Here is a sneak preview of our digital corpus, still under development, but due to be launched in September! #InternationalDayOfOgham

Ogma’s ogham workshop, cutting edge since c. 700

Cartoon with an ogham stone in the foreground with “ogma ⁊ sons ogham carvers our work is cutting edge” on the front and ogham on the right edge. A roundhouse is in the background with three stones piled in front and a small fire visible inside. A fence is behind the roundhouse with a small bird perched on one post and two other birds flying in the distance.

Time to learn #RTI, an imaging technique that creates an interactable file in which you can change the lighting position to create a different angle of raking light to emphasise features of an inscribed object. @3dgroovanstones.bsky.social @palaeofuturist.bsky.social @ndefaoite.bsky.social
