Mending and Making Ceramics in the Home, Street and Factory, 1660–1830

Tomas Brown with colleagues at the St John's College History Society Dinner, 2024
My colleagues Emily Heywood, Emma Poynter and I at the History Society Dinner, 2024.

St John’s College History Society hosted me as the opening speaker of their Michaelmas programme in October 2025. I gave the group an overview of my project and recent research, and exhibited some of the ceramic body samples I use in my work.

It was gratifying to be invited, and enjoyable to help build connections between the undergraduate and postgraduate members. Treasurer Isabelle Crawford made me a very sweet card using a sherd found in Cripps Court.
