Mudlarking with Nicola White & Richard Hemery - Thames Pottery Expert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2019
- Join me as I meet up with probably the best pottery expert you are ever likely to bump into on the Thames foreshore - Richard Hemery.
I've always been a little nervous of pottery. I love it, but find it hard to date. There is so much of it along the Thames foreshore. I often pick it up, admire it, mumble about it being 17th or 18th century and slip it in my pocket and move on! Richard is the perfect person to accompany me on a pottery mudlarking outing. He can recognise it, tell stories about it and arm you with the facts about pottery right down the ages.
Richard has his own UA-cam channel and it is here:-
/ @richardhemery6916
He is also writing a book about pottery, and his Thames pottery book is now available on ebay for just £2.99 The link is here:-
www.ebay.co.uk/i/233394995538
Richard says:-
"My pottery guide book is here! At the moment it is a PDF book only!
After 12 years of research and mudlarking I put together this 135 page book. It is packed with photos showing typical sherds found in the Thames, with tips on how to identify and date pottery. Most of the common types of pottery found in the London area are included. A lot of these are found all over the UK and abroad.
Included are - Roman pottery, Samian, coarse wares, colour coated, mortaria, tiles.
Medieval pottery, Surrey White Ware, Penn tiles.
Post Medieval, Tudor Green, redwares, slipwares, Borderware, Sunderland slipware, Midlands Purple, stove tiles, imports, Olive jars, German stoneware including Bartmann jugs, Westerwald, English stoneware, white salt-glazed stoneware, scratch blue, tin-glazed earthenware (Delft ware), porcelain, refined earthenware and transfer printed pottery."
You can buy from Ebay - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233378348145
If you are interested in the pottery shards you find on the Thames foreshore, you will love Richard's book.
Please note that you need a permit from the Port of London Authority in order to mudlark on the Thames foreshore. You can find the details here:-

nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art done!
@sunny hasbrook Thank you. That sounds pretty exciting. You can email me on nicola.white@tidelineart.com
This was so enjoyable thanks for posting :)
Going mudlarking with Richard is a Master Class on pottery!
yes it is!
Am I the only person who is avidly watching a program with two people discussing broken bits of pottery they find on an English beach? And almost wants to take notes? Thankyou Nicola 😊☺️👍🏻🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸
No! 🤗 T x
Richard has such a soothing voice. His on the spot talks on what the pottery is are fascinating and enlightening!
Thoroughly enjoyed that and what this man doesnt know about pottery probs isn't worth knowing.
Nic, this pottery tutorial with Richard Hemery is one of my favorite episodes! Not only is he utterly charming and modest, but he makes learning fun. You two make an excellent team and I hope you will ask him back one of these days. Indeed, you prove that education can entertain, and entertainment can be educational. Thank you both!
Thank you very much Steve x
Steve-be sure and look up Richard's UA-cam channel. He has a vid released a week or so ago about mudlarking with Nic.
@@vilstef6988 Thank you, Gene! I appreciate the head's up and will definitely check it out.
Nicola, one of your videos popped up on my feed a few days ago and I simply can't stop watching your channel! The episodes are so interesting...part treasure hunt, history lesson and wildlife show. To be able to walk along the river bank and know that something from any era could be found...my mind boggles at the possibilities. I'd love to get one of your glass fish for my mother. I found your shop on Etsy. Will you have some available soon or do you take request orders? 👍♥️🤗
Thank you Nicola, Richard and Si -finds for the ongoing history lessons. I am a bit envious of the availability of the Thames and its artifacts, unique to the world.
Thank you
Saw this some time back but enjoyed it again. He is very knowledgeable and unpretentious.
Yes, very 'down to earth'.
The pothead approves! Great video!
Thanks Richard! Lots of people are very happy and a lot more knowledgeable about pottery thanks to you!
Thanks Richard very informative!
@@nicolawhitemudlark Thank you for sharing your awesome finds...I am there, on The Thames in my dreams!
Touching history is so amazing!! 🇺🇸🇬🇧😊
Wow!! Your knowledge of pottery is right up there with Nicola's knowledge of pipes!! Enjoyed every minute!
@@luana1600 Thank you Luana! x
This has got to be one of my favorite videos of yours. The mixture of all the different history lessons is so amazing!!
Thank you
Richard Hemery is a treasure trove of information on pottery. Very interesting guest. Love that sense of history, excitement for it and reverence too.
It still causes my head to spin when your holding items that have survived for so long. Thank you for having Mr Hemery share his expertise.
That was so interesting. I really liked hearing about how farmers became potters. I've never heard that before, but it makes sense.
yes, wasn't that an interesting fact!
I've been a big fan of both you and Richard....so lovely to see you together! Cheers!
Thanks Cindy
Thank you to Richard he ID'ed a piece of my pottery, which i thought was 18thC, was actually medieval. Nicola your so lucky to meet Richard!!
Just recently discovered your channel, now I'm in love with Mudlarking! I've binged watch 5 months worth of posts in the last few days and I actually had a dream last night I was Mudlarking...lol. I was just wondering why so much pottery and it was great to get that question answered by Richard. What fun. Thank you for the great content!
ha ha, that's great. I had a dream once that the whole Thames was drained and that I went out there with my vacuum cleaner! Don't tell anyone :) Thank you for watching. Richard is a fount of knowledge.
@@nicolawhitemudlark Hahaha! love it!
We bought Richard's book the other night and discovered that a "tile" we found at Berwick is, in fact, a Roman brick! Going back tomorrow to look for more. Richard is so knowledgeable! Thanks for a very interesting video!
Amazing!
I found this episode very interesting and entertaining. Particularly enjoyed Mr Hemery explaining each piece in the collection you brought along, as I’m sure you were as well. Finding something interesting is so exciting, but then learning its history is equally exciting. Nicola, wonderfully done!
Thanks very much Doug x
Great video! Really informative. I must buy Richard Hemery`s book. We went to the foreshore today and I found possibly my best find ever, pottery wise (or just the best find of any kind) It is the face from a Bartmann Jug, just missing his beard. I actually shook while I filmed the find!!!! :)
wow, how exciting is that!? congratulations. You will certainly find Richard's book very useful
@@nicolawhitemudlark I seem to have the ability to find faces and heads. He was literally just face up in the mud looking at me! I do love the Thames although it can be a bit scary in the mud and the tides (oh and the scary ladders) :)
It’s great to get an understanding of the everyday objects we come across, Richard really is a wealth of information and very knowledgeable thanks I’ve learnt something today.
What a super video with two of my favorite Mudlark Historians!
Thank you Sheri
This video with Mr. Hemery was wonderful! I learned so much in such a little time. Its amazing to remember that all the bits were part of someones life. And he certainly brings history to life.
Flipping heck what a history lesson! Love it!
*LOVE* seeing you two together on the shore! :-)
Great show old Bean and like the tunes!
Thanks to the pot head for sharing his pottery expertise! Cheers!
Wow that Richard really is a mind of information when it comes to pottery brilliant stuff 😲👏👌
This video was absolutely wonderful. Thank you both for sharing! Loved it! ❤️
Thanks Nancy
Wow! Learned so much today from Richard. It’s amazing what he can tell from a just a shard. Thank you!
Another gem on the foreshore. Nice to meet you RICHARD. Thanks so much Nicola. You teach us so much with every video.
As always, the sheer mass of information provided by Richard Hemery is quiet overwhelming.
But it is so amazing to witness the miracle of his science flowing freely with just a look to a bit of pottery. And not only can he tell when and where but also the little stories around.
Thank you Master Hemery.
I'm at least one of the people suggesting a collaboration/mudlark with Richard. I saw the vid he made on this and I'm really glad to see your vid, Nic!
Thanks Gene. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with Richard!
@@nicolawhitemudlark I always enjoy his little Master Classes on foreshore pottery. It is a great history of the very ordinary which is so often ignored.
I already follow Richard on his You Tube channel what an interesting man and so knowledgable.
Oh my, what a wonderful video, so interesting. Love it.
Oh im so very glad you had him on your channel . He was so interesting. Your river is so full oh life from long ago. Love ya girl.
Nicola, what a delightful and educational visit with Richard H. Thank-you!
I've commented before, that I knew nothing of mudlarking, before coming upon one of your videos in my recommendations. Now, I'm hooked. I find them both fun and really relaxing, at the same time. Through watching your videos, I've also subscribed to other mudlarkers, such as Si-finds, Chill Bill, and some others, and Richard Hemery just happens to be one of them! So, it's nice to see the two of you mudlarking together.
thank you Nicola,and thank you Richard for all the info on Pottery.
An absolute pleasure and an education. Thanks for your work and your dedication, both of you.
You guys are so fortunate to have thousands of years of history under your feet at the heart of the city.
It's fascinating to see the foreshore through the eyes of a pottery expert who recognizes the smallest fragments... especially the Roman items. Absolutely amazing!
Nicola, your guest was so enjoyable to listen to. He certainly is knowledgable in his field of pottery. Thank you for sharing.
Nicola, awesome to have Richard as your guest! Man was he good! Such a great authority on pottery. I love all your guest. I learn so much! You're the best Nicola😊
I love how much he loves pottery. It’s always nice to hear someone speak about their passions. My father and I often collected pottery from various shores, your videos take me back to those adventures.
I have recently discovered Richard Hemery and I’m so impressed with his pottery knowledge, blows me away! He seems such a nice and decent man too! Lovely to see you both on a vid. Thanks Nicola x
Very informative! Lol, when he picked up that tin glazed piece of pottery, my eyes just kept going back and forth from his shirt to the pottery, perfect match!
Brilliant!
Thank you so much for sharing Richard with us and doing such a great job of videoing the experience. Utterly delightful!
Dear Nicola,

That was a great day, very informative too! You two are awesome!
A perfect video to enjoy with Sunday lunch. Richard's knowledge made this a very interesting video and now I have another mudlark to follow. I found you through Chill Bill, then Si through you and now Richard as well. Some books to read as an added bonus. 👍 Thanks for sharing!

That was amazing. I've been watching your videos for ages and enjoying them. You guys are so interesting. Keep up the good work!
As a beachcomber going back to my childhood on Oregon beaches and for 20 years later in life on California beaches, I love watching your mud larking adventures since I now live in the middle of the USA. Always loved low tides for finding beautiful shells!

Oh my gosh!! How wonderful the two of you together. So interesting and totally captivating!! Im going to check out his channel. Nicola so good to see you and happy mudlarking!!
Thanks for adding another person to my growing youtube watch list! I found this episode of your Thames mudlarking particularly engrossing, and it's great to hear from extremely knowledgeable experts occasionally to realise how much interesting stuff the average person would just pass by, unnoticed.
That was so interesting, thank you Nicola and Richard, loved it :)
Thank you for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed this from beginning to end. Fascinating finds and knowledge behind them.
Wow. Very interesting. Thanks so much. Richard really makes all those fragments come alive.
Wow, Nicola, Richard is a walking encyclopedia such a bonus to have him look at all the finds.
My two favourite mudlarkers, together. Fantastic
Really enjoyable and pleasant video, thank you both
This was so enjoyable. Thank you!
Loved this video. I have learned so much since I started watching your videos. You are lucky to live there. You make mudlarking look like the best thing in the world. Have watched RH's videos, as well. Thanks and hope the cold weather is not too bad for you yet.
As always, very informative. Thank you.
So very interesting, as usual!! Love your work and guests
Bravo!!!...another top drawer educational vid!!! I love all of the ones i've viewed. i am also a 'kid who always looks at the ground for shiney objects'...;)
i've done quite a bit of potting and also make jewelry and do some fibre art/craft.
thank you Nicola and Richard. (i lived in the UK once for 2 years, I miss your country and Bournemouth). My ancestors trace back to England,
Scotland and Ireland as well as N. Europe.
What a super collaboration! I love Richards channel and yours. ✨
THIS was an amazingly informative video! It opened a whole new portal to learning. Thank you for this wonderful post!!!! I LOVE your videos!
