Yes! this as a parent and as a professional, looking at nightmare non-safeguarding. I’m so incensed I’m going to write to the FLL organisation, they could have handled this so much better by linking with archaeological orgs who could have partnered with them!
My god me too, like literally 100s and even trying to slip into my DMs which I have closed on Instagram!
Go do it if you can - Graham is a whizz at creating historical ceramics, I’ve had the pleasure of filming at his workshop and it was an absolute treat!
In Sandi Toksvig's Hidden Wonders, with Raksha Dave @rakshadigs.bsky.social you'd have seen a Venus figure like this from Magna Roman Fort. I'm running a Lamp & Deity workshop at Magna this Saturday where you'll make your own figurines Roman Lamps. Book here www.vindolanda.com/Event/potted...
