Two programs this week

Lecturer, historian, artist, iconographer, storyteller, and teacher Marina Forbes will present two programs at the library this week. On Wednesday March 24th at 7pm join us for Russian Faberge Eggs and Lacquer Boxes: From Fine Art to Fine Craft, a beautifully illustrated presentation on the life and work of Russian master jeweled egg artist, Peter Carl Faberge. You will learn about the important roll of egg and lacquer box painting in Russian culture, and on the elevation of these traditional forms to the level of high art under the patronage of the tsars. Then on Saturday March 27 from 1-3:30pm we'll have a Hands-on Workshop led by Marina in which participants will learn how to render a variety of delightful images on wooden eggs. Materials will be supplied (wooden eggs, stands and brushes, with some additional materials for sale). Registration is required for the Hands-on Workshop. A New Hampshire Humanities Council Program made possible by the support of the Hopkinton Public Library Foundation.
