Elizabethan Lecture in Fresno
For the Fresno area costumers reading this (or anyone willing to travel for a short lecture). I just posted the following to some local mailing lists, so I am sorry if you see it twice.
I wanted to let you know of a lecture going on in Fresno, that I think would be of interest to Elizabethan costumers. As part of the Fresno Fiberarts Guild, their first lecture of the season is called "Gemstone Applications in Elizabethan Times" presented by K. M. L.
"K. will discuss once fashionable Old World gemstone embellishments and explain their applications as surface design decoration on period garments of the Elizabethan era." My newsletter describes further that "(her) lecture will explain how Queen Elizabeth dressed to display power. K. is in the process of replicating one of Elizabeth's gowns, and she will show us what she has completed."
You do not have to be a FFG member to attend the lecture, but they do request a $10.00 fee for non-members.
This will be on Saturday September 20, at approximately 10:00am, after their business meeting and social break which can vary. If you want to attend the full morning meeting, they start promptly at 9:00am. It usually ends at noon or so.
They meet at the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Service Center, near Fresno & Barstow Ave. 5340 North Fresno St. Map can be found here: http://www.fresnofiberartsguild.org/meetings.htm
I hope to see some of you there.
