Forager of the foreshore: mudlarking on the River Thames

From Sunday Morning, 11:35 am on 28 November 2021

There was a time when Mudlark-artist Nicola White was part of the high-pressure banking world in London, but she reached a point in her life when she wanted to do something she was really passionate about. 

Nicola had been casually 'mudlarking' on the River Thames for years, but around six years ago she decided to turn her hobby into a full time occupation. 

Nicola joins the show to discuss mudlarking, the art she makes from her finds, and some of the treasures and fascinating messages in bottles she's discovered over the years.
