About the Event
Colour & Craft is a short series of Art History lectures focusing on the hidden histories of
minerals and metals that were mined, smelted and processed to produce the raw materials
and colours for great works of art in the Medieval and Early Modern periods, both in the
East and the West. This weekly series of four lectures by Anita Chowdry is devoted to
minerals that provided four precious colour-groups, and their value in the decorative arts.
