We'll hold our Annual General Meeting and a Show & Tell on the theme of ‘Sacred and Profane’. Perhaps you will draw inspiration from Matthew’s presentation, perhaps you have a pagan secret you’d like to share, perhaps you have something that defies explanation. Please bring it along.

In April we’ll hear once again from Colin Smith, who will speak on ‘Merric Boyd and Murrumbeena’, where Boyd spent most of his life and created most of his remarkable pottery and sculpture. Colin will provide a history of Murrumbeena and Boyd’s life there, including recollections of the family by their friends and associates through the years.

Genine Wallinga will present on ‘Sometsuke: the birth, aesthetics and social meaning of Japanese blue and white porcelain’, looking at the first porcelain produced in Japan, from the early 17th century, to the peak of quality in about 1690, through the time of the great trade with Europe. Genine will examine the history, iconography and social and ritual meaning of these pieces.
