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.
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!
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!
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? 👍♥️🤗
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.
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 😊☺️👍🏻🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸
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😊
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.
What an interesting man! So much knowledge and willing to share it. My oldest antique is a Roman oil lamp, it is complete and has the thumbprint of the maker.
Wow! What a great and interesting video! Mr. Hemery is so knowledgeable. Thank you Nicola, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Looking forward to the next!
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!
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'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.
This was so informative. Love the way your friends dive right in and tell us all we need to know. So much fun to watch. Thank you Nicola for a lovely day on the Themes.
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!
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.
Another fun and interesting post thank you Nicola. What I enjoyed was watching the views up and down the river and wandered where along there the old original London bridge would have been. I was a young kid back in the 1960s and we lived in Lake Havasu Arizona where they relocated the bridge to. I remember getting to meet the Lord Mayor of London and some other officials that day at the ceremony for the laying of the cornerstone.
The knowledge of this man about pottery and the history... And to recognize these teeny weeny bits of pottery. Awesome video. You've got some nice pottery pieces there Nic!!
Another super video Nicola ,,so nice to see our history being found and talked about on your wonderful show ,so good to see Richard who recently identified and dated some medieval pottery me and my friend Simon found recently ,on a ploughed field also,love the nature returning on the river a wonderfull thing to see.thankyou Adrian and Simon.
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.
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!!
Thank you Nicola and Richard! What a nice and very informative way to start my morning. Nicola, I love your passion and excitement for your finds and.. your interest in finding the meaning and uses of those finds. All the best to you!
Another lovely Sunday. A cup of tea, a cozy chair and most importantly my friend Nic. Very interesting and thank you very much for the information Richard.
Hi there. Love your videos I usually watch them at night. Your voice is so easy to listen to even though I’m over 50 I would like you to read me a story before I go to sleep. I would sleep well. Cheers. XO.
Hi we both really enjoyed your latest Mudlarking adventure, talking to Richard Hemery, looking forward to your next adventure. All the best from Brenda and Mike Smith.
Oh Nicola you have beautifully spoiled us today with Richard, I adore his videos and knowledge and it was fabulous to get to see all the wonderful pottery pieces of different ages! Thank you for a wonderful video 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great finds and excellent guest this time. Learned more about British pottery than it I'd read a book about it! Here in America we only to back to the beginning of the Post Mideaval period 1600's, I personally grew up in one of the earliest settlement areas in Rhode Island and along its shores as a child where my friends and I played we often found bits of old pottery along with some rarer finds such as parts of old silver buckle shoes, carriage pieces such as rusted iron mounting step e that helped riders get into carriages and more than a reasonable amount of old bottles. The day I found one with my middle name on it when I was 9 hooked me on collecting. I always enjoy your videos Nicola, thanks.
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!
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.
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!!!! :)
@@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) :)
This is one of your best videos, (though I could argue, they are all your best). The pottery lesson, was eye-opening. I always knew, archeologists, dated earth strata, at excavation sites, through the pottery finds. So very fascinating. How I wish I lived near the Thames. I would walk that foreshore daily!!!
Wow! What a font of knowledge! Richard is like the Yoda of mudlarking pottery information!!! Always enjoy seeing you and your views of London and the Thames -- the finds are an extra bonus thrown in!
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!
Catching up on some older videos. This was amazing! Finding out where some of my Staffordshire pieces got there start! And seeing pottery that was around when Jesus and the apostles were around, Thanks again Nicola for another winning video!🤗😎❤️🦋
I got Richard's book when I was in London and it made my mudlarking experience so much richer! Thanks to you, Nicola, for all your inspiring videos and to you, Richard, for the specialized knowledge!

Another gem on the foreshore. Nice to meet you RICHARD. Thanks so much Nicola. You teach us so much with every video.
Richard Hemery is a treasure trove of information on pottery. Very interesting guest. Love that sense of history, excitement for it and reverence too.
An absolute pleasure and an education. Thanks for your work and your dedication, both of you.

What a super video with two of my favorite Mudlark Historians!
Thank you Sheri
Thanks Nichola! A fascinating video. Who knew those bits and pieces that are so easily overlooked could tell such an enthralling story!
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!

I've been a big fan of both you and Richard....so lovely to see you together! Cheers!

Wonderful production Nicola! I do so enjoy all your videos immensely! Thank you and God bless...
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!
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.
