I’ll be cohosting this 5-day course with @stevelawesarts.bsky.social. It will be messy and smelly but also lots of fun. Come and experience the practical side of medieval manuscript making!

A few years ago I invented (or think I did) Fibonacci Celtica. This practice brings knotwork and the idea of fractals together, scaling the grid system in order to create endless loops that get bigger and smaller as you trace them. More on my website www.stevelawesarts.co.uk #medievalsky #artsky

Morning Bluesky. I paint #runestones portraying UK rappers. I see them as the inheritors of ancient Bardic Britain, and our best social commentators. Here are a few of them! May be of interest to some on #medievalsky , and if it exists yet, #rapsky or #hiphopsky #ukrap #ukhiphop #runes

Talking to audience and participants at my summer project, teaching the Peasants Revolt to kids in Basildon. They learnt the history, made all props and backdrops, and acted out the history of the Revolt in a movement-based piece. More projects coming very soon! #artscouncil #history #medievalsky

#medievalsky I painted this Doom recreation for a church in Essex and made the Telegraph. "First Doom painting in 500 years using traditional materials", they reckoned. More info at St Mary's Church or my website, link in bio shorturl.at/JyDFW

Quick intro! I'm an artist using medieval history and research to inspire what I make. I run community education projects centred on making medieval Britain and local histories accessible. I've been featured in the Sunday Telegraph and once went viral after a meme-war with my namesake at UKIP Hi!

I never used twitter but it seems like this place might be where you've all come to talk about your trauma?? Am I in the right room?

Easter themed Carpet page from earlier this year. All the paints were hand made by @saracharles.bsky.social using medieval recipes and authentic materials. This is A3 so rather large for a carpet page! Took me about a month #artist #medievalart #traditionalart #britishart
