yappystudent Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 There are some excellent BBC series on Youtube -free to watch- that include, here and there, some interesting recreations of old English and a little French in the Castle series, pottery. Unfortunately the pottery is mainly sitting around but I believe it's pretty authentic, plus there is a segment on actual throwing in the castle series somewhere, it was pretty short. Lots of other interesting old crafts covered in a fun way, from taming moor ponies to weaving wool, I'm currently making my first wattle thanks to the Tudor series. Some of the episodes are not great video quality, most are excellent. I've included links to the first episodes of each of the series I know about and more seem to be included as time goes by: Tudor Monastery Farm series, ep 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ERDYjsHBg Victorian Farm Series, ep 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4apIM4l0laY Ewardian Farm Episode, ep 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcBl4_2FJX4 Wartime Farm Episode, ep 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUsU5s0ofYo Secrets of the Castle, ep 1 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=secrets+of+the+castle+episode+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae Reich Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Learned how to make a fine brush from a feather! In the second Tudor one, I think. (Also fell into a Clarissa rabbit hole- saw her cook from the first English cookbook, commissioned by Richard II. Showed ceramic drinking cups, but wooden plates, mostly, in the recreation.) Thanks, @yappystudent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
