UPCOMING DATES

28th May  11 am     Westmount One            "Manuscript Miscellany"
                 

                  The era of the handwritten manuscript as the only vehicle of

                  of knowledge in Europe lasted about 800 yrs, ending with the arrival

                  of the printing press and paper at the end of the 15th century.

                  During that time the written word also became the illuminated

                  word, soaring ultimately to rich and voluptuous works

                  such as the Tres Riche Heures - behind whose creation lies

                  an incredible story of youthful artists and the lust for beauty.

                  An hour of amazing artwork leavened by Bestiaries and

                  the satirical and humorous illuminations that live in borders

                  and bas page designs.

3rd July    3.15 pm  Kensington Place        (subject to follow)
