Pleased to see it out at last! Digging down into the lived experience and ways of thinking that objects, fabrics, scents etc brought with them onto the stage, in short chapters based around particular things (with colour images!).

Beds, perfumes, doublets, torches, lutes, clocks, handkerchiefs… Who owned these objects in early modern England? How were they used? @profcatheriner.bsky.social's 'Shakespeare's Objects' explores 33 significant objects in full colour illustration. Out today! https://bit.ly/4f7YOaM

Wonderful session in the stained glass workshops at Canterbury Cathedral yesterday, looking up close at one of the miracle windows that’s in for restoration. These represent the cure of a mentally ill man at St Thomas’ shrine. Detail just amazing - not visible in situ. Thanks to all!

Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction 1950-1970 @Turner Contemporary Margate. Really interesting international stories about women’s making, by hand, at kitchen tables, having to clear their art away at mealtimes - lots of textiles too!
