About this event

Free Talk by Andrea Newall.

This is a chance to see some of the collection that is rarely on display. Guided by Andrea our resident dress historian and costume curator you are invited to look at and explore some of the many personal objects made from glass that were used in daily lives in the past. From hat pins to perfume bottles, jewellery to pince-nez and elements of clothing such as beads, come and see glass in some of its most decorative facets.

The talk will last approximately 40 minutes, followed by a Q&A session. No booking is required.
