#museum30 day 14 - Heavy
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!

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!

I’ve spent a year immersed in clay, in my own pottery practice and through my work on the ceramic scoping project @artukdotorg.bsky.social

#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.

The distinctive eyespots on the wing tips of peacock butterflies act as a defence mechanism to startle away predators. The illustration is from a ‘friendship album’ in the y Gaer collections.

For day 2 of #museum30 the prompt is ‘signage’ and there could only be one correct choice - this excellent sign from @nationaltrust.org.uk’s Newton House.

It’s somehow already day one of #museum30 and the first prompt is ‘Introduction’
I started #museum30 in 2017 to share my love of museums. Though I’m not working in a physical museum I still get to work with art from across the UK’s public collections through my role @artukdotorg.bsky.social

Life has been busy for quite a while now but I’ve still found time to be in the garden and the pottery studio. I’m loving that working from home and no longer having a tiring drive every day means more time to actually do my hobbies even when the diary is full!

I had a very fun day at work today visiting Stoke-on-Trent to meet some more of my new @artukdotorg.bsky.social colleagues in person!
We spent the day looking around the Potteries Museum and had a brilliant behind-the-scenes look at the Spode Museum (so good that I only took one photo!)

I’m very much enjoying that my new working from home life is allowing me to notice all the small changes in nature around me.

It’s never too late for the annual cat in the Christmas tree photo - she didn’t manage to knock of any branches this year but there was definitely some precarious tree wobbling going on…

#Museum30 Day 30!
Why Museums? Because they are spaces for connection. Connecting to nature, to our past, to different viewpoints and as I’m reminded each year they let us connect over our love of heritage.
Thank you to everyone who has taken part this year!

I love that letters can allow you into everyday lives, whether that's of historical figures or just your own ancestors. I used (copies of) my family letters and photographs in my A-level photography work exploring how the past and present weave together.

I discovered a love for repetitive museum work during my placement photographing insects trapped within resin for a researcher @morethanadodo.bsky.social and now I get to spend lots of my day split between cleaning up data and researching interesting ceramics!

My social media handle comes from my old blog, started whilst volunteering at the Cole Zoology Museum with their microscope slide collections. I’ve not written a blog post in a long time but the name has stuck! What made you choose your handle?
