Roman Glass Research Project

It’s a long time since I wrote an entry for this blog  – I have been taking a rest from the Basinghall glass project  while other work has taken over – lots of it ….   Meanwhile John Shepherd  and I,  with  the MOLA photographer Andy Chopping  and the rest of the publication team  have been putting the finishing touches to our little book about the glass workers of Roman London.  This takes the evidence from Basinghall Street as a starting point, but reviews all the current evidence for the history of glass working in the  city.  We describe all the various stages of glass production  illustrated by brilliant action photographs  taken at the workshops of the Roman Glassmakers, Mark Taylor and David Hill.  The book is topical, very, very colourful  and available from MoLA – take a look …..
