Don't forget to do some painting at home!

Dr Brian Davies' talk "A Blue Story"
In a fascinating and impeccable presentation, Dr Davies took us through the story of the colour blue in human affairs, ranging from woad and indigo in pre-history through Prussian blue, Egyptian blue, copper salts, cobalt blue, true and French ultramarine, and thepthalocyanines.
He touched on the chemistry and history of painting and dyeing, and his range of characters included Julius Caesar, Vermeer, Horatio Nelson and Dame Edna Everidge. Totally absorbing.
