SUMMARY:The World of Pearls
DESCRIPTION:The allure of pearls has been documented from ancient times and there is evidence of the use of pearls in the Arabian Gulf region dating back to 4000BC. In ancient Rome\, according to legend\, Venus herself was born of the sea like a pearl. The Romans thought pearls were formed from the teardrops of the gods\, or perhaps as a result of clams capturing dewdrops in the moonlight. This talk looks at the amazing variety of types of pearls\, from those produced by oysters to marine snails\, how they are found and some of the most famous pearls in the world\, including those that belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 8 September 2026 Launceston (TAS) \nFriday 11 September​ 2026 Brisbane River (QLD) \nThursday 17 September 2026 Brisbane (QLD) \n​Sunday 20 September 2026 Sunshine Coast (QLD) \nWednesday 23 September 2026 Toowoomba (QLD) \nSaturday 26 September 2026 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:‘Once Upon A Time … In Blue and White’: The Story of the Willow Pattern Plate
DESCRIPTION:Two lovers meeting underneath the orange tree\, an elopement\, a fierce father and jilted suitor; pursuit across a bridge and into a little boat; tragedy and death. Two love-birds flying together forever – all under the gentle sway of the willow tree – on the instantly recognisable ‘Willow Pattern Plate’. From the early nineteenth century it was well-known and much loved design on thousands of English teapots\, plates and dishes. Is it Chinese? Is it English? With one or two surprises\, the story behind this famous image takes us from the origins of blue and white designs in the exotic East to the emerging wealth of the Midlands pottery towns. \nDates and Locations \nMonday 12 October 2026 Hobart (TAS) \nFriday 16 October​ 2026 Brisbane River (QLD) \nWednesday 28 October 2026 Toowoomba (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Diverse Riche and Costlye Jewells: 17th Century Trade\, Treasure and the Cheapside Hoard
DESCRIPTION:‘Diverse riche and costlye Jewells’ is a perfect description of the unique collection of jewels known as the ‘Cheapside Hoard’. Unearthed\, by chance\, in 1912 in one of the most historic parts of London\, it seems it was lost\, or buried\, between 1640 and 1666. More than 400 pieces make up this remarkable Hoard\, including a unique walnut-sized emerald contacting a watch movement\, a slithery emerald studded salamander to earrings shimmering with suspended amethysts. These are rare\, but not royal\, jewels. Pieces demonstrate remarkable skills and stones mined in every part of the world. What does the collection represent? Why was it brought together? What are its secrets? \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 13 October 2026 Launceston (TAS) \nSaturday 24 October 2026 Noosa (QLD) \nSaturday 31 October 2026 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Cutting Rythms\, Shaping Stories: How Film Editing Works
DESCRIPTION:Few aspects of creative filmmaking are as shrouded in mystery as the work of the film editor. What do they do? How does it work? Film editors will usually say their art is intuitive – magic\, instinctive\, inexpressible. But this lecture explodes the myth that good editing is invisible\, and reveals what goes on in the edit suite to save movies\, tell stories and make thousands of bits of footage into coherent and compelling films. Drawing on her first-hand experience as an editor and her many years as a professional dancer\, Karen Pearlman puts forward the idea that editing is a form of choreography. She shows how editors shape movement – movement of story\, movement of emotion\, and movement of image and sound\, into moving experiences for an audience. Clips from Pearlman’s Australian Screen Editors Guild award winning films\, and quotes from her internationally distributed book on film editing\, ‘Cutting Rhythms’\, are woven into this talk. \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 10 February 2026 Bowral (NSW) \nMonday 16 February Newcastle (NSW) \nMonday 23 November Hobart (TAS) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
