@CambridgeThings @SpoonsOnTrays @atinybitwaring Indeed! They managed to create one of the most intellectually exciting and welcoming places in Cambridge! Thank you for your camaraderie!

[Katie Reinhart @KatieofReinhart]

This is one of the first seminars I attended in Cambridge, and I was honoured to be a small part of it along the way. I add my thanks to @SpoonsOnTrays & @atinybitwaring for starting it off, and to the wonderful current convenors who have taken it to such great heights! ♥️ https://t.co/hRBT5uvyBA

Sorry to see the end of the Things seminar series. It's been a great platform for the discussion of early modern material culture, and it was a real privilege to speak at the seminar last year. https://t.co/KIzRHKSO2U

[Dr Sophie Waring @atinybitwaring]

7 years - Goodness! I feel old! It’s been glorious and I can’t wait to see how @CRASSHlive engages with #materialculture themes in the future! Many thanks to all those who helped us along the way - to many to mention! https://t.co/mDZQQxLWnN

[Cambridge Things @CambridgeThings]

We are grateful for all the support, and for how together we have helped foster some fantastic discussions surrounding the study of #materialculture in all its forms. Long may it continue! #emthings

[Cambridge Things @CambridgeThings]

Thank-you also to all our faculty advisor and previous conveners - without their support and leadership, as well as imagination, this seminar series would not be what it has been.

[CRASSH, Cambridge @CRASSHlive]

A sad farewell to @CambridgeThings, a research group that has been at CRASSH for seven years! Fortunately, they have left us with a wonderful audio collection #emthings ➞ https://t.co/5uF5YxGNCl

We open the floor for questions! #emthings

[Cambridge Things @CambridgeThings]

Renaissance objects combined all forms of piety with curative items and ingredients. Just as established religion was not reserved for the elite, supernatural beliefs were not reserved for the uneducated - both could be used in conjunction. #emthings
