diary

Here is the diary for everything I have planned over the next few months, whether live or online, which I do not record as I prefer the experience to be ‘in the moment’. I add things in as they become fixed so… watch this space!

Important information:
The blue links above will give you more information about the individual talks – and here’s some general information that you might find useful. For all sorts of reasons I do not record my talks (I’m keeping this paragraph in because people keep asking!) I like them to be spontaneous, and ‘in the moment’ – which recording doesn’t favour: please accept my apologies if you are not available. Booking is done by Tixoom, via the blue links. They deal with all the ticketing, and will email you straight away – so if you don’t hear from them, you should let them know. The email they sends includes the link for the talk itself. You will also receive a receipt from Stripe, who deal with the money. This sounds obvious, but if you don’t get the email with the ticket it is so much easier for me if you contact me more than 5 minutes before the talk is due to start – thank you! However, I will check my emails until at least 10 minutes beforehand if you do have problems…

I will also be leading trips with Art History Abroad’s adult group, Artemisia. In 2024 I will be going with them to Delft (13-17 May) and Umbria (to follow the ‘Piero trail’). If you would like to come on one of these trips, and sign up on the Artemisia website, I would be grateful if you could mention my name when you do: thank you! I hope the 2025 schedule will be published soon, but it should include return visits to Hamburg and the Piero Trail, as well as trips to my new home town, Liverpool, and to Florence, for the Fra Angelico exhibition.
