Very proud of my wonderful ex student Claudia Boleyn trying to shout down the idiot on @bbcquestiontime and have her say this evening in Gillingham. Well done @ClaudiaBoleyn Anyone who Fiona Bruce has to talk to like that to try to stop her is doing a great job in my eyes.

My latest pots. The first is based on the Dame Laura Knight painting of Shaw I admired as a teenage art student in Hereford. Part of my series of Oscar Wilde friends enemies and acquaintances in pot form. @ShawSoc @MrsShawHerself @Jonas_Cemm @OscarWildeUK @HerefordMuseums

Have been experimenting with images from the Shapero Books Beardsley catalogue and Stuart Semple’s fab new Blink black ink. Trying to find out more about Beardsley’s techniques and drawing. More to come when I have time. @ShaperoRareBook @stuartsemple @beardsleyism

@Jennyamphlett @StaffsUni I love it. I went to Stoke and did fine art , and am now an art teacher and I give my sixth form tutor groups a rubber duck when they go off to Uni, I call it a good luck duck. Must be a Stoke thing.

Described as ‘Pepys in camiknickers’ Joan Wyndham wrote these amazing diaries in 1939, living amongst the bohemian artists of Chelsea. My favourite book, I bought this first edition from Oxfam online and it’s signed! I’ve given away so many copies of this book and I love it.

Attempts at making pots from a Beardsley drawing. 2 versions, illuminated with fairy lights. More to make. I hope people like them. ⁦⁦ @beardsleyism ⁩ ⁦ @sasha_weirdsley ⁩ ⁦ @OscarWildeUK ⁩

@IanMaher7 I’m fed up of the U.K. government spouting their latest cliche ‘getting jabs into people’s arms.’ They refuse to use the word ‘injection’ as presumably it will scare people and ‘vaccination ‘ is only ever used by medical staff on public. Jabs in the arm....’ So infantile.
