Unsweetened: Ode to Biscuits (Huntley & Palmers and the First World War)
In 1822, one of the most famous names in baking, Huntley & Palmers, began life as a small baker’s shop in London Street, Reading. Within 40 years, the company was exporting goods across the globe and Reading became known as 'the Biscuit Town'. This film explores what life was like at the Huntley & Palmers biscuit factory at the dawn of the First World War.

I, Sheep: A Filmpoem

I, Sheep, a filmpoem, combines video, poetry and performance to tell the profound story of a single ewe and her links to the lives of a farm and farming family. Its exploration of rural heritage moves beyond the human, and it reflects on the anonymous and voiceless sheep whose presence can be found so clearly across the Museum's collections. I, Sheep is the final piece of work to emerge from Th...

That was brilliant! Thank you! I don't have the appropriate shoes and was finding it a bit difficult in my Crocs..🤣🤣🤣 so i threw on a pair of cowboy boots! Really helped! But i need more than cowboy boots! 🫣🤭😉
Thank you! Clog dancing looks to be low impact am I right? I’m hoping it is, because due to health issues I can no longer do high impact dancing.
Great tutorial video, Hannah, but I'm so glad we're not neighbours!
thankyou...perfect for aspiring clog dancers, i'm saving this video so i can practice!!! Thankyou for going a bit slow so we can remember the steps better!
Wonderful video. What melodeon did you use here?
Can you upload a video of you doing a clog routine with traditional music please?
Hi Hannah. Where do I buy shoes which you were wearing? I Appalachia clog with double jingles and thought I would like to try your style of dancing. Thank you for any information.
Awesome to watch you and learn! Thanks for not going too fast! :)
What a genius he was!
The tutorial is great and so clear! Where can I find the music for this clog dance in the video?
Hugh Sinclair was an ancester from our Maternal Line, he was a maverick and innovator.
Excellent video and education, i enjoyed this very much
Hello! What kind/brand of shoes are you using in this video and where can I get some? Thank you! Wonderful teaching style!
Do you have more tutorials?
good to see some traditional english clogging.
"nothing can prepare you for the arrival of the sun" i feel you, bro.
Do l need clogging shoes to practice with you? I am almost 70, but l have enjoyed this beginners class. I hope to get this. 😁
Use any smooth leather soled shoes so you can do the shuffle without it sticking like it would with a sneaker.
Hi Hannah. Before I go and buy clogs, what shoes could I practice in? I'm in Aus.
HI loved the video thank you , IM THINKING OF STUDYING with you next year 2022 , i just wanted to ask do you get many Maturere students in this course as you said you only have around 20 students , as im 50 now , and i would love to study at reading doing museum studies , also can you recommend some reading please as well , thank you
Awesome Hannah, so well explained! You should have so many more views!
Id love a clog making apprenticeship if id chance excellent videos 👍👍👍
Loved your clog dancing.my great great grandfather was a a world champion. In bow 1898 James burns
Similar to Flat Foot Dancing steps in Southeast USA ... because most of us are from English, Scot, Welsh, Irish ancestry. We dance in street shoes with leather soles and keep our feet close to the floor but step movement is close. We got it from you cloggers!
Very good Hannah
Me too, I tried it with flip flops and barfoot, haha
I would love somebody to teach me how to make clogs like this I am a Shoemaker love to make clogs thank you for the video
I live in Canada and I wondered where I could get shoes like yours. Does it matter what kind of wood is used for the floor?
Walkley Clogs, Hebden Bridge
Thanks for going slowly and repeating
Excellent video, Hannah, thank you! I'm up in America, the Pacific NW. I'm excited to be learning to clog.
I recently uncovered this specific reading manual last March. My young man and I have already been sincere in engaging in reading classes ever since then. At present, my boy can read books without my help. My youngster seems seriously positive and is also doing great in Pre-school this current year. . Research about this reading book on Google. The guidebook’s name is Elena Readoρiz Take care
Happy Christmas to all from Vermont USA. You folks are on my post pandemic travel list!
Yes, but Santa doesn't come if your awake, let alone fill stockings and leave gifts while you all gather round to stare! Children watching this may get confused and stay awake, sadly to find not Santa doing it... that's their Christmas' gone in a puff of air! I did enjoy their version and it was a cute advert but I hope no young children will watch it.
Happy virtual Christmas to all the MERL elves!
What it looks like when you put all the steps together: ruclips.net/video/2-XTbkchJt4/видео.html
And speed it up, I think!
Fantastic video! Now I understand!
The questions & answers and the style of filming/editing remind me of Notes on Blindness.
Well done. I greatly enjoyed it. Especially the point-of-view footage.
Hannah, I did the practice steps and dance seated and it was a workout! But much more fun than the gym. You’re a very kind and enthusiastic teacher. TFS
Brilliant Hannah. All I need now is some clogs xx
You are a really good teacher.
This was great. Thank you so much for posting this video!
I normally just sit and watch people when they do dance tutorials but I actually got up and did it! It really lifted my spirits, thanks so much for teaching this :)
Thank you Hannah! Is there more to learn?
Who is here from the Geico clogging commercial. I am
I am. I tap dance and wanted to see what clogging is. Also interested in Irish dance.
The sound is great. Just crisp and clean. Are you lav'd? I'm very impressed. Going to try out these steps. Thank you dear..love India
Wonderful video. Now I can clog dance ! Thank you Hannah :-)
Best clog dancing video ever. Well done Hannah ! Love and Blessings from America.
Thanks for the Video. I tried and did 20% good in 1st attempt. Will try to practice in next 5 days to keep it 100%.
Where can I order those clog dance shoes. Enjoying the video. Thanks, Ruth
