Good to see the new exhibition Herbert Art Gallery & Museum curated by @johnypitts with Jason Scott Tilley yesterday. Lots of fantastic work by Joanne Coates. Jim Mortram and many others. Elaine Constantine work on the soul scene brings back memories, I must scan my negs of the scooter scene c2000.

Teacher training day = extra holidays. Testing chemistry and a new (to me) Lancaster camera with the kids ready for a workshop next week with The Courtauld Research Forum #materialwitness #tintype #wetplate #collodion #photohistory

We are in the darkroom with Jo Gane @GraceANagle today for a special #MaterialWitness session on Early #Photographic techniques. Stay tuned throughout the day for lots of interesting activity ✨

Fantastic handling session with Jo Gane for #MaterialWitness learning all about different photographic techniques including photogenic drawing, calotype, cyanotype and collodion processes ✨

Posing for our final portrait! Huge thanks to Jo Gane for a fantastic day of learning all about early photographic techniques. #MaterialWitness

Looking forward to seeing Jason’s new exhibition on Thursday evening

Well done to all at ACE Midlands ArtRiotCollective and Jason Scott Tilley. Toolkit for galleries working with neurodivergent and disabled artists incoming! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The most amazing charity shop buy ever, thanks to Age UK Coventry&Warwickshire for taking care to find me with original letters and materials relating to pete james and George Shaw. Tom in the Leamington shop is brilliant and deserves 👏. So glad these important documents are now safely on my desk

Good to see these exhibitions today and catch up with Jason Scott Tilley

Thank you PHRC for two inspiring days discussing the photographer’s assistants! #PHRC24 Engaging panels, lovely people 🫶🏻 and two very interesting keynote lectures by Omar Nasim and mikeyp4 #photohist

A timely article, thanks for writing this @rachsh

An interesting couple of days listening to contemporary photographers, thanks to Dr Caroline Molloy (PhD) (she/her) for organising. Not a bad start to my 40th year too, thanks to @MelanieKKing.

Just finished this summer reading, thanks @SiobhanAngus and Everyone Active for entertaining the kids. Great conclusion which resonates with thinking through my thesis. ‘If we want to address the challenges of the present, the past holds so many potential answers for us’ p.229

In the 19thC, George Dawson said opening public libraries in Birmingham proved that 'a town like this' was more 'than a fortuitous concourse of human atoms' or 'a miserable knot of vipers struggling in a pot'. What will closing them say about our civic life and standards?

Spent a fascinating day with the wonderful Jo Gane experimenting with salt and silver using a recipe from 1835. Learned so much about the chemistry of photogenic drawing and calotype photography from a real expert.

It's tonight (1900 UK) time ... Can't make it? Still register (link below) and we'll send you a recording ...
