Can’t believe I did that - got out of my comfort zone to talk to 150+ people about the archaeological perspective on surface finishes.
What an epic day. Thank you to @limefinishes.bsky.social for all your incredible work #archaeology

the absence of evidence, is not, evidence of absence… 🙌🏼

Nice guesses all - answer… 1997!

Guess the date of this packet of crisps found to eaves on site this week… ?

Further to my post yesterday, Historic England have agreed to increase the online number to 700 so you can still get a ticket for What's the Point Two 2026, but don't mess about becasue they'll be gone in a flash. See you there.

Happy weekend 🌺

Internal finishes identifying lost functions - this is within the basement of a prominent market house building, a level formerly used as a butter market. Painted lettering under later finishes revealing “butter & eggs”

Yes this building will be replaced. The current structure has been half lost to weather already.

My favourite feature from a redundant barn last week. Upturned rim lock, reused from a more elegant door, which would’ve been nicely dressed and wrapped with an ornate iron plate

Was this painted Darren?

My first shift as a studio tech officially on Friday - it was so much fun. Here’s some marbled clay saucers I completed. Hyper focused production is something I am yet to master!

Your absolute all time favourite!

Another AJ ALLEN piece. This time a 60s/70s bar stool.
So wholesome to connect with my heritage & family like this. My thanks to an American friend who spotted it on eBay. If you have an AJ Allen piece of furniture - I’d love to hear from you!
