Talk on Art of Jewellery
Have you inherited some antique jewellery and would like to know when it was manufactured? Come along to the National Council of Women Centre for an interesting lecture by Francesca Balzan on Friday, October 12, at 6 p.m. The entrance fee is Lm1.
Ms Balzan has conducted research on a little-known area of the Maltese decorative arts. She has studied the art of jewellery in Malta during the Knights' period and has written a Master's dissertation and published articles on the subject.
The focus of her studies was on the archival sources which throw light on the jewellery of the Knights, of the nobles, and even of the peasantry living in Malta.
Ms Balzan is a board member of the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts, and is the curator of Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum, Mdina.
