Delighted to share my first published article! It suggests that C19 sailors were emotional makers and used craft to navigate significant relationships. Read here.

We'll be featuring articles from our new, guest-edited issue this week. To start, check out @MayaWasselSmith's “'The fancy work what sailors make': Material and Emotional Creative Practice in Masculine Seafaring Communities" in our newest issue: https://t.co/Q5iEnpu2TU

Ah yes, James "I must do everything myself" Ross strikes again. This time in the form of #RightToRepair

(I suppose Anne was incredulous that a naval officer would do something like darn his own stockings.)

So pleased to be hosting Elisabeth on Wednesday! All welcome to what is sure to be a fascinating talk!

[Dr Elisabeth Gernerd @egernerd]

I’m looking for UK based people who are doing exciting work on blue & white ceramics. Does anyone have any recommendations?

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

This Victorian decoupage scrap is obviously terrifying but the outfits are incredible

Drawings of whales in the log of the ship Indian Chief kept by Thomas R. Bloomfield (1842–1844).

I have a ticket to the IWD/Dovecot Studios tapestry event at V&A tonight that I can no longer attend. Is anyone interested in taking it off my hands (for free)?

[Stephanie O'Rourke sorourke25.bsky.social @sorourke15]

My new book 'Picturing Landscape in an Age of Extraction, 1780-1850' will be published next year by the University of Chicago Press! It asks: how did forms of picturing make the natural world assimilable to the protocols of extraction in Europe and its colonial networks?

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

@acplatt87 This looks so great, Angela. Will it be possible to join online or will it be recorded?

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

*I think

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

Sharing it again for the ones at the back. The world’s first symposium on marine tapestry!* https://t.co/W3gcDQm6SK

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

I have been beavering away organising this symposium for the last few months. Very glad to finally be able to invite people to Weaving Waves - the first (I think) exploration of maritime tapestry as a genre https://t.co/W3gcDQm6SK

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

@PlymPrivateer @magdlibs This sounds really interesting! Is it just in-person or online as well?

[Maya Wassell Smith @MayaWasselSmith]

@MiyamotoBen @Bethany_Qualls I’m looking for one, if you still have it?

[Demon Drink Project @demon_drink]

Really honoured to be invited by @v_afanasyeva
to speak at this @malcofproject event at the Sorbonne in a couple of weeks. 😀I'll be sharing my decade+ of research on #temperance with international researchers. Yes, it will be in English I admit! @UCLanResearch @UCLanWhatsOn

[Sarah Teasley @sarah_teasley]

How do ways of articulating encounters between researchers and craftspeople reproduce hierarchies and privilege? How can they disrupt or decentre them? How can thinking across disciplinary practices and approaches show ways to do this? (1/3)

CFP: ANIMAL EXTRACTIONS

@caavisual, Chicago, Feb 2024

We want to hear from you if your research examines the historical status of animals as natural resources; as objects of exploitation, exchange, and profit; and as materials in 19th-century art, craft, and design

[Dr Caroline McCaffrey-Howarth @CarolineMcCaff]

After our great 2021-22 Programme which saw @triciamatthew @Unefleurunjour & George Haggarty awarded grants, the English Ceramic Circle is delighted to offer 3 grants of £1000 for new research on the study of British ceramics for 2023-24. Open to everyone https://t.co/tzkCKOCxx2

[Brodie Waddell @Brodie_Waddell]

How did work shape people’s identity before industrial capitalism?

@mark_hailwood and I have a new piece out in
@RoyalHistSoc trying to make sense of the important recent research on this question.

It's short and #OpenAccess, so you can read it here: https://t.co/PnsEEOhuSD
