Ahem, do I know any archivists out there who can recommend a good, simple and affordable system for storing info (data & photos) about glazes and objects? A ceramicist friend with a small business needs some advice...

This point can't be stressed enough: the reforms announced by Minister @PaulFletcherMP are GOOD for creators! A great example is film makers and artists being able to use orphan works ✅ Let's fix our outdated laws and get more #CopyrightAccess
The Government's proposed Copyright Access Reforms announced by Minister @PaulFletcherMP last year are now more important than ever. These small but important reforms will benefit creators AND users of copyright. #CopyrightAccess
