My 40 minute lectures are designed to create excitement and curiosity on the subject
and set off the audience on their own personal journeys of exploration.
They are supported by non-academic & photo-intensive Powerpoint presentations and are excerpts from the guest lectures given on luxury cruise-liners like
Silversea, Oceania, Azamara etc or museum / textile groups.

These talks are enjoyed by those who have just begun to enjoy traditional art.
Experts & experienced collectors are welcome too to enjoy the anecdotes.
