A brief look at the world of the Benedictines at St. Nicholas Priory and how the Monk’s Panels reflect the sacred architecture of monastic surroundings. The talk will cover how the first two medieval gold border patterns were developed, the Romanesque Gold Border and the Renaissance White Vine Border. There then follows a look at the creation of the Gothic Angels Border, the Medieval Saints Border and the Elizabethan Floral Border. Additionally, the talk will cover how I worked to compliment the historical reconstruction drawings of Dr. Richard Parker and a brief look at medieval paints and their sources.
Doors are 2:30pm for a 2:50pm start.
£12 Ticket price includes refreshments and a display of Judith’s work.
