Easter Island - The Navel of the World What better way to escape the winter than with a trip to the South Pacific! Photographer and adventurer Brian will ‘transport’ us all, via his fascinating illustrated talk, to Easter Island (Rapu Nui), where he recently spent time photographing its key historical and archaeological sites. Brian will tell us the amazing story of the Rapanui who settled in this remote place and built the vast Moai statues, of their life on this inhospitable island and of the tragic downfall of their magnificent culture. Bringing us up to date he will tell us about the island’s community today and of their efforts to protect and conserve the unique Rapa Nui cultural legacy stretching back over 800 years. The talk will be richly illustrated with Brian’s stunning photography – a treat not to be missed by armchair travellers and lovers of history and geography. |

The Arts and Crafts Movement in the Midlands
By
Sally Hoban
Designers from the Arts and Crafts Movement such as William Morris are well known but the Midlands made a huge contribution to the movement as well. Designers at The Bromsgrove Guild of Handicrafts, for example, produced the exquisite wrought iron gates for Buckingham Palace.
Three lectures will set the work of Midlands designers in the context of the national Arts and Crafts Movement using the examples of jewelry made by Arthur and Georgina Gaskin, stained glass by Florence Cam, ceramics from the Ruskin Pottery and more.
We will also hear about the best locations in the region to see examples of Arts and Crafts design.
The Study Day will be held at Cawley Hall, Eye nr Leominster from 10AM - 3PM.
The cost will be £30 for members and £35 for non members and will include coffee/tea on arrival and a catered two course lunch.
Further details will be included on the booking form for this event which will shortly be posted on our website (see below) but if you would like more information contact the Study Day secretary
