Have spent the last week whilst I've been sick learning some Tatreez embroidery, which is a traditional form of Palestinian embroidery 🪡

I've learnt it via a gorgeous website called www.tatreeztraditions.com which offers how to and free downloads of motifs 🌲

Nothing says 'i work in a small charity museum' like my girlfriend volunteering on the front of desk this weekend like a true comrade 🫡

Does everyone who wants to do a PhD worry about the gap in their work experience during those years?

I fear that unfortunately now a days, academia alone is not enough for employers, especially in the museum sector. They want you to work for your PhD AND have a job alongside.

I wrote a piece for @shcg.bsky.social newsletter magazine about some beautiful embroideries at the Museum of Cambridge. In my role as Collections Officer I curated 'The Stories Behind the Stitches' which has sadly ended now, but got to research all about these pieces stitched by injured soldiers. 🪡

I saw someone sat in Five Guys in Norwich just... wearing a 'Trump, Make America Great Again' top... I'm too tired for this kinda nonsense

Hello! My name is Beau and I work in museums, am a big fan of textiles, created the Norfolk Trans Joy Community Quilt with my partner Alice, and do things like embroidery and cross stitch myself 🪡
