Our latest issue to become free to read is spring 2020
blakequarterly.org/index.php/bl...,
which contains our annual sales feature, plus a review by @luisacale.bsky.social of the 2019-20 @tate.bsky.social exhibition and catalogue. I remember this one as our first issue published during lockdown.

These bowls were fashioned by Simon Turner

from a mould he made from Blake’s previous gravestone at Bunhill Fields.
"The mould is fired and then used to mould the bowls (otherwise they would read backwards) and then they are fired once, glazed and fired again."

Coincidentally, "Holy Thursday" will also feature in our upcoming spring 2025 issue; maybe I can recycle the cover and no one will notice?
