A Calligraphic Odyssey
Thursday 26th November
A Presentation by Macleay Islander Calligrapher Ruth Venner, F.R.S.A.S,A., Artist, Poet, Glass Engraver and Silversmith.
Ruth is an autodidact. Her calligraphic experience began with Teaching ‘Illuminating Manuscripts’ at the W.E.A. Adelaide, using ‘The Story of Writing’ given to her by Parker Pens, featuring Donald Jackson, Scribe to Her Majesty’s Crown Office of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 2 years later Donald became her first teacher! And has remained interested in her work. Dr Lawrence Chan, Scholar, Urologist and Painter became her mentor for 25 Years and through him she visited China 3 times, and Canada for ‘Friendship through the Brush’. Most of her work ‘comes to her’ in the night. Friends and serendipity are vital! Book Today!
New Exhibition
The Lazaret on Peel Island
October -November
The Friends of Peel Island Association have generously donated books, artefacts, and other items relating to the Lazaret on Peel Island. Over 52 years, about 500 sufferers of leprosy, or Hansen's Disease, passed through the Lazaret. Some died, some went into remission and left, and some returned to the island for a second or a third time.
Redland Museum held an exhibition on 31 May 2007, exactly 100 years after the Lazaret was proclaimed. The book - Going to the Gums The Lazaret on Peel Island - is based on this exhibition. Patients referred to death as "going to the gums..."
Our talented Exhibition Officer, Rick Thomason OAM, will create a heartfelt exhibition from the donated items to be held in October and November 2020. You won't want to miss it!
