The next meeting of the Association will be:
Glass in imitation of other materials on Monday 7th November 2016 at The Institute of Archaeology, University College London, 31-34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY.
The aim of this study day is to explore aspects of the use of glass in imitation of other materials. What purposes were behind this practice, and how was it achieved from a technical perspective? Which materials were mimicked, and how did this affect the value of the glass itself and the material it was imitating? What was the purpose of mimesis and imitation at different times?
For further details, please do contact Daniela Rosenow (DRosenow@britishmuseum.org) or Chloe Duckworth (cd227@le.ac.uk).
Lunch is not provided, but is available locally.
Members wishing to attend the AGM of the Association only, which will be held on the same day at 10am, may do so free of charge.
To book, please send your full contact details and a cheque for 15 GBP (members of AHG), 25 GBP (non-members) or 8 GBP (students) payable to the Association for the History of Glass Ltd to: Denise Allen, 12 Birchy Barton Hill, Exeter EX1 3ET, UK. Email: denise_allen52@hotmail.com
