NEW RELEASES FROM THE FARMYARD RADIO - this time @samra_mayanja presents, ‘What Do We Mean By Communities & How Do We Engage With Them?’ (50:44) as she gets to grips with some of the realities and language around socially engaged practice, the old and new arguments. . Commissioned during the first lockdown amongst the rally of cries for a new way of working, the ambition of the podcast series was to open up our platforms to opinions about what shape the future could, and should take. In particular we wanted to ask some interesting people for radical reflections, in part because we are always wondering if we are doing things the best way, but also because we're working on The Farmer's Arms, an initiative to revive a neglected local inn as an expanded arts centre for the 21st century. And we don't want to make the same old mistakes. . Each podcast maker was invited to respond to their topics in any way they chose, inviting contributors and additional content. . #podcast #lakedistrictfarmersarms #artpodcast #culturepodcast #community

Mocha ware beer tankards - working out how they made these - made them slightly too small just under a pint. The blue is too pale as well. We will do some workshops in making these for #lakedistrictfarmersarms they were the tradition pub tankards up till the 1940’s when glass took over (their passing was bemoaned by George Orwell who claimed beer tasted better in pottery, he was very particular about tea too with 11 golden rules on how to make a good cup of tea)
