Artists talk with Jacqueline Scholes (Silversmith)
Tuesday 28th October
1:00-1:30pm
From an early age I have been fascinated by beautiful objects. I am interested in their form and function and the materials from which they are made. I like to handle these objects and have always had a desire to acquire the skills to make them. With my aspirations I have pursued a career as a silversmith at University and later self employed for two years at Bishopsland Workshop. This was an opportunity to develop ideas for tableware and learn a great deal through taking part in exhibitions and creating designs for clients. Feeling the need to develop as a designer led to my applying to the Royal College of Art. I derive satisfaction from making objects that are elegant and people actually use and enjoy. I find working with metal particularly fulfilling, enjoying its permanence and indestructibility. I take my inspiration on the one hand from organic natural forms and on the other from mechanical and structured elements that are all around us. I am attracted to the contrast of the two concepts. The function of tableware is an important part of my designs. I look at the relationship between food and tableware and the interaction between the user and tableware.

Dinner with Elemer Boreczky

Dinner with Elemer Boreczky (£25.00)
Thursday 2nd October
7:00-7:30pm (MENU TO FOLLOW)
Dr. Boreczky is a retired Senior Lecturer of the University ELTE Budapest, Hungary and a former Visiting Professor of Rudgers University, New Jersey, USA. The subject of the lecture is entitled:
John Wyclif’s Political Theology and King and Emperor Sigismund’s Reformation
The end of chivalry and the prefiguration of the political map and discourses of modern Europe
It is being given under the auspices of the Ordo Draconum 1408, of which Dr. Zsigmond is the Grand Prior in the UK. I feel sure that it will be fascinating. This is not strictly an Athenaeum Presidential event, but there will be a dinner for Dr. Boreczky and, subject to space being available, Proprietors will be able to attend. It is an honour for the Club to be asked to provide a venue for this prestigious lecture and we look forward to welcoming Dr. Boreczky to the Institution.
