Celtic Mirrors & Iron Age Treasures with James Handley Welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast!! We are nearing the end of Season 2 and this week I am bringing you something a little different - an episode all about Celtic Mirrors and Iron Age Treasure! This week, I sit down with British Artist James Handley to discuss something completely unique to Britain, Celtic Hand Held Mirrors which have been found all over the British Isles. But, I hear you ask, what are these mirrors so important? To begin with, they are incredibly rare, only been 29 or 30 of these incredible mirrors have been discovered. They are also incredibly detailed and complex in their design and build, which when you think about when they were first created (from approximately 300 B.C. to 70 A.D) it is beyond mind-blowing. We know very little about them but what they do offer modern-day viewers is a look into British Craft and Design History. James also discusses one of the greatest Celtic Art finds ever discovered in Britain, the Battersea Shield, as well as one of the biggest ‘Torc’ findings in Britain. This episode celebrates the craftsmanship, beauty and design of these objects and why they deserve to be considered as some of the greatest artworks ever made in Britain. Enjoy! Jo Guest: James Handley @jameshandleyart Mirror https://celticmirrors.org/#ironage I think I have decided on the objects (i believe we said we would choose 5?) that might work well on the podcast. 1) Desborough Mirror ( https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1924-0109-1 ) https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1924-0109-1 2) Chettle Down Mirror ( https://i1.wp.com/celticmirrors.org/images/chettleparkhoardLg2.jpg?ssl=1 ) 3) Birdlip Mirror ( https://i2.wp.com/celticmirrors.org/images/birdlipdecoratedLg.jpg?ssl=1 ) 4) The Great Snettisham Gold Torc ( https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1951-0402-2 ) https://blog.britishmuseum.org/how-do-you-put-on-a-torc/ https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1951-0402-2 https://mymodernmet.com/celtic-coin-hoard-boudica/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBu6cixcaxI 5) The Battersea Shield ( https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1857-0715-1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnOp3S2QUMs https://www.bridgemanimages.com/en/celtic/birdlip-mirror-c-50-ad-bronze/nomedium/asset/3854279 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jos-art-history-podcast/message
Happy International Women’s day! I could not think of a better way to mark this special day than to take a deep drive back into four previous podcast episodes which celebrated four brilliant women artists. Today I revisit my episodes all about Anna Atkins, Frida Kahlo, Peggy Angus and Tracey Emin. I loved dipping my toes back into these episodes and hope you enjoy them too!

It’s Episode 50 and oh my - I have quite the episode for you all this week! Today, I speak with the brilliant Sara McKee, who is an art historian and gallerist based in Caernarfon in Wales. After studying Art History at University Sara ’got herself real Job’ in the advertising and marketing world and soon enough made a name for herself in the industry. It wasn’t until the tragic death of her husband, however, that Sara decided to return to her first love - Art History. Fast forward 10 years Sara now runs Life: Full Colour, a gallery dedicated to supporting both artists and the community in where it is based. In this episode, Sara and I discuss the importance of creativity, why it is never too late for a career in the art world and why we should all be living our lives in Full Colour. A beautiful episode that will uplift and inspire. Thank you, Sara - it was a pleasure. Enjoy all!
