UK based NZ artist, with a keen interest in rural histories and 18th century studies. @qestcraft scholar & 2022 @an_artnews grant recipient. All views my own.
On #InternationalWomensDay this tweeter would like to celebrate both the work and impact of three fabulous women.
Collectively they help make Egham Museum the dynamic, vibrant, and collaborative place it is ๐
This thread is something for you all โบ๏ธ
@TheWhitePube Soak overnight, if it doesnโt lift stick a dishwasher tablet in with boiling water and left over night (also works for burnt/baked on pans)
@MartinSLewis No but will be cancelling Disney+ today. Lack of content is rubbish and Prime has gone up in price. Iโd rather have prime as I need the free deliver for freelance work
@speedina I wonโt take on any work that doesnโt cover my daily artist fee. But sadly many artists take these projects on and the cycle continues. They really need to cover these sorts of situations at art school.
@speedina@TheBodyShopUK was a big seller of those along with soaps in the shape of novelty fruit and animals. Poor mum I bought these every year for Motherโs Day. ๐
Embedded into the houses and landscapes we care for are the stories of those who challenged conventional ideas of sexuality.
To celebrate #Pride, weโre exploring these LGBTQ+ histories. (1/13)
@speedina There is a Facebook group called โThe Potty British Pottery and Porcelain Discussion Groupโ which I found very helpful trying to identify an unidentified object fron a museum collection.
@Shiwon_NZ_Ao@OtautauT@wagamama_uk Grim. Good to know as an immune compromised person where to avoid. @wagamama_uk clearly do not care about their duty of care to their staff and customers.
The #NationalOddityChampionships is so much fun, highly recommend participating if youโre a museum/collection/archive or following @EghamMuseum if you want to just watch the fun of viewing some of the weirdest objects in UK collections!
There is still time to contact us and participate in what promises to be an intense battle to be crowned winner of the #NationalOddityChampionships 2022! ๐
Jan Tomasz the Ukrainian hospital clown has been rescuing children and their families, then he and colleagues clown/ do magic for the children back at his refugee shelter. He told me about it + showed me around via video call. @theipaper

@joevaugh4n I joined Loyds TSB because of the horse logo (my bank in NZ also uses a horse logo) Imagine my horror when the bank split into two separate banks and I was moved to TSB.๐ Nary a horse in sight.
