Hastings and Rother Decorative & Fine Arts Society

OUR first event in the New Year is on January 21 when Thirza Vallois will be talking to us about Art Nouveau and Art Deco in Paris.

We shall be exploring the history of these two connected movements through the applied arts and also through architecture, fashion and ballet.

Thirza has lived in Paris for 40 years. A post-graduate of the Sorbonne, and author of the three-volume series 'Around and About Paris' and of 'Romantic Paris'. She lectures throughout the world and contributes to various publications, television and radio, notably the BBC and the Cultural Channel (France). She also conducts NADFAS tours in Paris.
