@rachelcrellin.bsky.social chose to mark her Outstanding Achievement archaeology award with one of my artworks 🥹 In case you weren’t able to see it on the day here are some pics. It’s a ‘blind embossing’ of the Desborough mirror.

I agree with Rob… this was the TAG highlight! Exceptionally proud of an exceptional friend @rachelcrellin.bsky.social

Thank you @tag45.bsky.social for a wonderful few days, and the opportunity to share some early stage experiments from my PhD.
