Because the current project requires me to make 13 full size amphorae, I've had to make drying space in the tool room/materials store. 🏺⚱️And, I've made a special drying rack for the narrow necked ones like these Camolodunum 186As and London 555s. #Archaeology #AncientBluesky

Anyone know some events organisers?
