The Victorians had the best job titles: blabber, butt-woman, cheeker, crutter, cullet picker, dasher, egger, fluker, lasher, lurer, maidenmaker, ponty sticker, ransacker, sad-iron maker, scratch-brusher, spittle-maker, spragger, sprigger, tingle-maker, walk-flatter, whim-driver.
Truly tragic news. Hugo was an inspiration to us all. He was a generous and sefless philanthropist, a visionary evangelist for the arts, and one of the kindest men I've ever met. This is a huge loss to the cultural life of the UK. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
This is, as always, essential reading. The extraordinary @heritage_crafts again reminds us that so much of our heritage is intangible: it's a nest of knowledge, skills, memories, practices & oral traditions preserved not in bricks and mortar but in our hearts, heads and hands.

The twinkle on the lip, the petal reflected back at itself, the bowl’s miraculously mysterious interior. The more art I see, the more I'm convinced that William Nicholson is the answer.
