In exciting news, I'll be speaking at a wonderful evening at the Abbey Museum of Art & Archaeology in April on Medieval Clothing: Dress Accessories, which will feature wine and charcuterie, my talk with close up images on a large screen of artifacts and research about the workmanship of dress accessories and a selection of high end reproductions and 14th century artifacts.

The artifacts and reproductions will be part of a white glove experience, where guests may carefully hold the artifacts in their own hands for a truly wonderful learning opportunity.

This week I'm gathering images and putting notes together which will form the basis of the presentation, but already I'm so excited to be sharing this! Many people have the idea that workmanship in the middle ages was rough and shoddy and I'm here to say it just isn't true!
