SUMMARY:The History of Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:This talk takes us from some of the earliest embroidery in this country from the 10th century through the height of English work\, Opus Anglicanum to the embroidered outfits of our Tudor monarchs through to the seventeenth century when new design ideas arrived from India and China\, and new techniques emerged such as raised embroidery\, through to the growth in silk shading with the growth in dye shades\, then to Berlin wool work in the 19th century and the dawn of art embroidery by the likes of William Morris and Walter Crane in the late 19th century. Finally\, we reach the period of embroidery artists in the 20th century including Beryl Dean\, Constance Howard and Diana Springall to the artists of today including Mr X Stitch. This lecture shows how much embroidery has changed and stayed the same over the last thousand years. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 4 March 2026 Geelong (VIC) \nMonday 9 March 2026 Murray River (VIC/NSW) \nSaturday 21 March 2026 Perth (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Japonisme: How the East Influenced the Art of the West in the Late 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:After Japan opened its doors to Europeans and Americans in 1854 the Japanese also visited the west at the international exhibitions in London\, Paris and Philadelphia to show their work. This gave European artists the opportunity to explore the work of Japanese masters of paintings and woodcuts. This lecture shows how western artists from Van Gogh to Walter Crane were influenced by the works they saw from Japan and how they developed their own work as a response. \nDates and Locations \nSaturday 21 March 2026 Perth (WA) \nMonday 23 March 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
