Colour
Sunday 25 May 2025
10.30am – 1.30pm | £40
Book here | SOLD OUT
A letterpress workshop delivered by Thin Ice Press.
Colour is crucial to Harland Miller’s art. He has suggested, for instance, that ‘pink … suggests levity, the same subject in green has more gravity’. Join us for a fun workshop on colour and its impacts. Participants will create a set of keywords in wood type, and we will print them in multiple colours, playing with meaning, visual effect, and emotion. All participants will go home with a set of A3 posters, celebrating what colour can do, and how Miller’s work helps us to experience it differently.

Roman Coins in Everyday Use with David Michaels
25 May 2025 | 1pm – 1.30pm | Discovery Den, Yorkshire Museum | Free, booking required | Book Now
As most people know, Roman soldiers founded and settled Eboracum, the ancient name for York. But how much were they paid, and how did they live on their wages? What kinds of food, clothes, lodging and luxury goods could they buy? Numismatist David Michaels of Classical Numismatic Group, in the guise of Senior Centurion Titus Flavius Crispus of Legio VI Victrix, along with his purse-managing wife Pompeia Pulchra (Lorie Rodrigues), will answer these questions and more in a 30-minute presentation at the Eboracum Roman Festival. The presentation includes an opportunity to handle real Roman coins from the Yorkshire Museum collection.
