This episode of the Alnwick Castle podcast goes all the way back to the medieval period to find out all about the art and skill that went into making items that we might think of as common or everyday - tiles! There's much more to tiles than you might expect, particularly during this time in history, and host Daniel is joined by Karen Slade, an expert tiler from the Company of Artisans, to discover what kinds of stories tiles can tell. Karen explains the history of tiles through the medieval period, their significance, and how you become a medieval tiler in the modern day!
