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!
Do you learn by doing? @ies-sas.bsky.social has a new summer school course that explores medieval manuscripts by making them. You’ll learn how inks and pigments were made and used and get to experiment for yourself! 📖📚🎨 @ies-sas.bsky.social book 👇 ies.sas.ac.uk/london-rare-...

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.

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

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

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

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
