SUMMER SCHOOLS: it's taken a while, but my blog list is now up to date again, and hopefully easier to navigate: cressidaryan.wordpress.com/s… There are some new ones this year... details in following tweets.
Today is #InternationalLEGOClassicismDay! And as usual, I've been building something. This year I've been working on a Katabasis Book Nook... 😂 The full project is on my website:

Here's some photos of the process of printing my designs onto LEGO torsos to make Brick Classicist minifigures. Thank Ken Wilson (Print On Bricks) for taking these photos for #ILCD10. Ken has been the official printer for the BCE since 2022 #InternationalLEGOClassicismDay

For the first time in over 100 years my town has an independent bookshop - and it has great books in it too! If you're ever in South Shields, do check out Electric Beacon Books - and please share!

On International LEGO Classicism Day we awarded @wmarybeard the Brick Classicist of the Year Award for her ongoing work making ancient history accessible to the public.
Last week Prof. Beard kindly sent me a photo of herself with her award!

Lovely to see this out in the world: cucd.blogs.sas.ac.uk/files/2…. My report of a workshop I organised at the 2024 CA on the intersections between EDI and Latin language teaching, out now in the @cucdbulletin. Read for an overview of the discussions had, but also for a lot of 1/2
So pleased to have an article out (open access) this week on designing for autistic students! 🎉

Today we said goodbye to Cleo, who's been running my life - and wrecking my printer, and making me work standing up - for the last 17 years. She will be missed. 💔
