And there will be fun stuff to play with too!
The complete quartet: FOUR POCKETS FOR SEASONAL FORAGERS, hand-embroidered tie-on pockets displaying flowers, seeds, roots, berries and leaves according to each season.
Fantastic talk by @saracharles.bsky.social this evening at Hereford Cathedral explaining and demonstrating the process of bringing medieval manuscripts into being #MedievalSky
The last working ochre mine in the U.K, Clearwell Caves in the Forest of Dean, where colour has been mined for 4,500 years. A beautiful range is still mined & milled there: yellow ochre, red ochre (Terra Rosa d’Inghilterra), brown ochre, & rarer purple ochre, akin to ‘caput mortuum’.
What an utter delight it has been to have @saracharles.bsky.social at Hereford Cathedral the last few days! Finished up with ink & quill making and calligraphy in the reading room today.
Re-posting this for the mid-week crowd. The talk will be free to attend and open to the public, so just sign up below and make sure to tell all your #medievalsky and #skystorians friends! 😉 www.magd.ox.ac.uk/events/food-...

There are a few tickets left for @saracharles.bsky.social talk on Friday evening at Hereford Cathedral. What better way to spend a Friday night than immersed in thinking about manuscript production? www.herefordcathedral.org/Event/from-p...
