The Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society are the people who run the Museum, Library and Archives. They also run a series of lectures and on Thursday afternoon I attended what was a very popular and entertaining lecture on the Foundation of Hild’s Streonshalh & Whitby Abbey, 657 – 1100 AD by Roger Pickles. The series of lectures is published on the museum website at http:\/\/www.whitbymuseum.org.uk and although mainly for members of the Lit & Phil, guests are welcome on payment of the nominal fee of \u00a31. I will hopefully attend a few more of these this year.<\/p>\n
I have also begun to put together some ideas for workshops<\/p>\n
On Saturday 14th March 2009, 11am until 2pm and on Sunday 15th March 11am until 1pm I will be encouraging visitors to make small drawings in the museum and then making them into badges – the charges for this will be \u00a31.50 per badge. The usual museum admission charges will apply – but this is a fairly small admission fee of \u00a33 per adult and \u00a31 per child. Whitby residents can get in free if they produce some proof of their address.<\/p>\n
There will be lots of other events as the year progresses and I hope to meet lots of interesting people. In between these fun things I will be continuing my own research with a view to producing a new collection of jewellery ‘Inspired by Heritage’ later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
