We are already halfway through #museum30 and I’ve loved seeing what everyone’s come up with so far!
Day 15 is Kindness, something I’ve been trying to be more mindful of this year is being kind to myself so this print on the wall beside my desk is a great reminder of that.

I love discovering preserved elements of history just dotted about in everyday life - like this sign giving instructions for heavy loads on the canal bridge!

I love how full the background is in this piece ‘An English Garden’ by Percy R. Craft, it looks like you could just step into the painting!

Now that I work for Art UK - a digital platform, I get to working from home. It is something I’ve adapted to so much better than I had anticipated when beginning my role.

The prompt for day 11 of #museum30 is rainbow, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share these two photos taken one of my stays on @skomerisland.bsky.social Very excitingly, I’ll be spending a week volunteering on the island next summer!

Captivated by the hunting locally, King James I established a royal retreat in our town, remnants of which can be seen today. These satellite images are overlaid with the historic buildings and street names from the era of King James, based on archival documents.

Some people will tell you that the Mary Rose never made it out of the harbour, but she was actually well travelled, at least for a ship in Henry VIII's navy.
This map shows some of the Mary Rose's more notable destinations - any near you? #Museum30 #Maps

This notebook from my time as Assistant Art Curator at y Gaer is full of these maps of the galleries. As a visual person they really helped when planning new exhibitions!

It’s far to early to be thinking of Christmas but these ornaments from the tree at Dinefwr House are always a favourite of the season!

Check out this load of old bobbins!
The crew of the Mary Rose used them to store their sewing kits (thread around the spindle, needles and pins in a hollow space at the end), which they would use to repair damaged materials, such as this ripped cloth jerkin!

Day 8: Stitch. The incised decoration on ancient Cypriot pottery - often enhanced with lime - is sometimes thought to imitate stitching on textile containers. #Museum30

Annie Parker #stitch ed this sampler (now on show in our #CM150 exhibition) using her own hair as thread and gave it to the Rev John Horsley, chaplain to Clerkenwell Prison. In 1884 he gave it to our collection - Parker herself died the following year of TB aged only 35. #Museum30 #womensart

A lovely piece from our collection for today’s #Museum30 theme of Stitch – a ‘Friendship Cloth’, owned and used by the donor’s grandmother, Sylvia Ashbridge of Grove Park, Wanstead, who had friends visiting for tea sign and embroider (or embroidered herself) their names from around the year 1870. 🪡

This beautiful seal bag, embroidered with the Royal Arms of England, was made in 1280 to protect the wax seal attached to a charter from the reign of Edward I. It's a fine example of 'opus anglicanum' - highly-prized English embroideries with gold and silver thread.

#museum30 day five - ‘sharing’
This year I’ve had the opportunity to do lots of teaching in my other role as a pottery studio technician. As a very introverted person it always surprises me just how much I enjoy sharing my love of ceramics with others and seeing what they create!

The prompt for #museum30 day 4 is #sketchbook and these ones come from a display at @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social by the Dorset Deaf Activities Group.
The hand bound sketchbooks were created in response to Elisabeth Frink’s life and work, featuring sketches for the final collaborative piece.

Day4 #museum30 sketchbook a digital recreation of John Hunter’s sketchbooks in the Hunterian Museum. The new museum brilliantly interweaves the story of Hunter into the collection. I work on the front-end evaluation & it was great to see the issues raised by audiences being so effectively addressed
