A Passion for Pearls
Wednesday 18 November at 2.00 pm
A Zoom talk on the fascinating subject of pearls, the world’s only living gemstone by Frances Carlaw (formerly Benton) who was a WI speaker and a Denman tutor for 7 years before retiring to a life of rural peace in central France 18 months ago.
Frances will be presenting her talk: ‘A Passion for Pearls’ illustrated with photographs from her extensive pearl and shell collections. She will uncover the origins of real pearls with the complex science simply explained and will also talk about the craft value and beauty of the shells themselves. She will illustrate the colours and shapes of pearls and give guidance as to which might suit you best. She will explain some mystical elements of wearing certain colours and finish with a story of an ancient, lovesick dragon!
The fee for her talk will be donated directly to charitable groups, which support the lives and education of the poorest children in the district of Kwa Zulu-Natal in South Africa.
