From the early mass-dissemination of biblical stories to highly prized limited edition art works, prints have been used to communicate ideas across the globe. The subtlety, variety and expressiveness of the print medium secured its enduring appeal as a form of individual expression long after more mechanical means of reproduction emerged. This series explores the history of the artist’s print, a subject that leaves lasting impressions to this day, and runs alongside Northampton Museum and Art Gallery’s exhibition showcasing the works of print-maker John McGowan. Lectures will focus on an artwork from the museum’s art collection, providing either an exclusive chance to view it or highlighting works on display. Includes tea/coffee and biscuits. Booking is essential.

Master cordwainer, shoe historian, and calceologist (shoe archaeologist) Brett Walker will introduce the topic of Northampton's renowned shoemaking industry during Britain's proto-industrial ascendancy in the global market, during an era when superlative-quality handmade shoes were still accepted as commonplace. Drawing on over 23 years’ experience as a traditionally educated boot- and shoemaker and professional historian, Mr. Walker presents an engaging look at what was one of the most common skilled trades in Great Britain. Highlights will include examples of shoes within the collection of the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, and previously unpublished information on contemporary calceology discoveries.
