"A pleasant change from your ordinary drink"...we are not sure we believe them...🤔

On Day 2 we went to Raby Castle and looked at more recipe books and did more transcription. We also look at material from the Raby Castle Estate at the time the redcurrant was first grown there. We also enjoyed a tour of the gardens and getting to sample the famous redcurrant itself!

The two-day event started at Palace Green Library and involved learning about garden history, learning how to transcribe recipes and trying out some interpretations of eighteenth century recipes.

😂 Yes, that would not have been quite the same sort of archive!!!

This textile work is part of Dinah’s installation Enchanted Objects – Adornment and Personal Protection from Amulets to the Mobile Phone which is on at the #DUOrientalMuseum until 9th November.

This artwork uses a historic dress collected by the artist in Jaffa as it’s base with mobile phone shaped amulets made from recycled and found materials. Each amulet features a powerful symbol of protection.  #talismans #amulets
