Fresh from the kiln: my first try at a filigree jug! The original jug dates back to 1550-1600 and was found in a potter's waste dump in the Aulgasse in Siegburg. Collection Boijmans van Beuningen.

Here's some #pottery that I will fire tomorrow! Most of the pieces are based on historical objects but there are also some of my own designs. Ask away if you want to know more about a specific piece!

Here's another low key experiment from Genesee Country Village, also where my photo of the spinner was taken. Always liked this shot and enjoyed taking some time to tweak it.

Lots of little dragon heads: This tablet woven trim is inspired by a 10th century textile fragment from Dublin. It is not a faithful reconstruction of the original. While the original is woven in brocade technique, this trim has been woven with 2 threads per tablet. It resembles the motive pretty well, though: double dragon heads, hence called Dublin Dragons.

This video shows how I make a replica of a medieval fire cover.
I'm working on a medieval stag for hand washing (not yet fired). This device is called an aquamanile. He can be filled with water through the hole in its back and the tiny hole in its nose is the spout. The original (fourth image) is from 1300-1399 and resides in the V&A museum. Parts of the antlers and both hind legs are missing.

Hi! I just started using this platform and I'm jumping in on #portfolioday!
I'm a professional #craftsman, #goldsmith and a #livinghistory enthusiast. Here's some history inspired reproduction #jewellery I've made. I have a passion for #ironage, #medieval and #renaissance Jewellery.
I'm moving my social media accounts around currently, but for now you can find my other works with the handle @kiertelevakettu (on Instagram).
1/2 I recently heard the notion in an online discussion, that medieval christian veiling was a matter of practicality.
That is something I have heard quite regulary in reenactment/living history circles and it always irks me a bit when that aspect of veiling is so heavily emphasised. Yes, veils can also have practical effects like holding back the hair for working, protecting the head from dust, sun and the elements in general.

Way back at Easter, I made hot cross buns for coffee after church. Clearly, I got completely sidetracked after deciding I needed to write something about the history of hot cross buns. But that was way back in April and here it is almost December. So, if you want a quick and dirty history, check out Wikipedia. Otherwise, just enjoy the few buns that survived the coffee crowd.

On this #SilentSunday, let the hush take us back in time, to reflect on the echoes of an era that must never be forgotten.
Within the folds of silence, we find space to honor those days of struggle and liberation, with a promise to keep the memory alive.
This photo is from today, but it depicts a day 79 years ago.
Lest we forget, to build a tomorrow of peace.

We found another article featuring Uncle John & the Montfort Point Marines!
My brother found a link to an article about Uncle John & the Montfort Point Marines that we didn't know about. It's here for anyone interested:
Migrating here from mastodon.lol, which is shutting down soon. So here's my #introduction -
I'm a #pagan #polytheist #animist #queer #author #artist and spiritworker. My specialty (obsession) is all things #Minoan and I'm delighted to be a member of the #PaganCommunity
I'm the founder and Temple Mom of #AriadnesTribe (link in bio).
I've written magical #fiction, Pagan/historical #nonfiction, an adult #ColoringBook, created a #Tarot deck and collabed on another.
I love #gardening and #LivingHistory and preindustrial skills and animals of all sorts ( #cats #dogs #chickens #cows etc.). I hope one day to have a little place in the country.
And I'm very happy to be here!
My Uncle John is quoted in a National Geographic article about the Montfort Point Marines! The Marines were last to integrate. Here are the stories of the first Black recruits:
