SUMMARY:The Silk Roads: arts\, history and exploration
DESCRIPTION:The Silk Roads: arts\, history and exploration\n  \nBuddha\, 2nd c.\, National Museum New Delhi 68.187.\nPhotographer Daniel Waugh\nA Royal Asiatic Society Summer School\nMonday July 8 – Thursday July 11\, 2019\n \nThe influence of the interactions enabled by the Afro-Eurasian trade routes known as the Silk Roads are much in discussion today\, especially with China’s Belt Road Initiative. But what is the story of the Silk Road? Does such a concept make sense? What does it mean in terms of the history and arts of pre-modern Afro-Eurasia? \nIn this 4 day course\, leading scholars on the historical Silk Road will introduce the term\, its history and the 20th century explorations which brought the role of central Asia to the fore. The course will then look in some details at aspects of Silk Road art and technologies: silk production\, books and printing\, glass\, ceramics and metalware. The participants will have the chance to see original manuscripts and books at the British Library and the Royal Asiatic Society\, introduced by their curators. \nThis is a course intended for a general audience. No prior knowledge is required\, although a short bibliography will be supplied for those wishing to do some reading in advance. The group will be limited to 12-15 people and therefore there will be ample opportunity for questions and group discussion. \n  \nThe Silk Roads: arts\, history and exploration \n  \nDETAILS \nVenue:           The Royal Asiatic Society\, 14 Stephenson Way\, London NW1 2HD \nDuration:      4 days Monday-Thursday non residential \nCost:               £600 Non-residential including 3 lunches and tea and coffee (Fellows receive a 12% discount). \n  \nCOURSE ORGANISERS AND LEAD TUTORS \n  \nDr. Susan Whitfield   Honorary Senior Lecturer\, University College London \nDr. Alison Ohta          Director\, Royal Asiatic Society \nDr. Peter Coles          Morus Londinium and Goldsmiths’ College London \nMélodie Doumy         IDP\, The British Library \n  \nFor further information: ao@royalasiaticsociety.org; \n  \nPhotographer: John Falconer \n  \nPROGRAMME  \n  \nMonday: 8 July The Silk Road: History\, Art and Exploration \n  \n09.30-10.30: Welcome\, introductions and practical matters over coffee \n10.30-12.30: The Silk Road: Introduction to its History and Art \n12.30-14.00: Sandwich lunch \n14.00-17.00: The Silk Road: Exploration and Discovery (2 lectures with break) \n  \n  \nThe Silk Roads: arts\, history and exploration \n  \nTuesday 9 July: Silks and Sericulture on the Silk Road  \n  \n10.00-11.30: Sericulture and its Spread \n11.30-13.00: Silks in Buddhism \n13.00-14.30: Lunch \n14.30-16.00: Silks in Christianity \n16.30-19.00: England’s Early Silk Industry: Walk and lecture in St James led by Dr. Peter Coles \nFollowed by early evening drinks \n  \n  \nWednesday 10 July: Books\, paper and printing on the Silk Road \n  \n10.00-11.00:  Lecture on development of books\, paper and printing in East Asia (SW) \n11.00-13.00:  Visit to British Library to view Silk Road manuscripts (MD) \n13.00-14.30:  Lunch \n14.30-16.00: ‘Judging Books by their Covers’\, Islamic Book bindings (AO) followed by session in RAS Library \n  \nThursday 11 July: Glass\, Ceramics and Metalware \n  \nThree lectures telling the stories of particular Silk Road objects. \n10.00-11.30: A Roman glass bowl (SW) \n11.30-13.00: An Islamic ceramic dish (SW) \n13.00-14.30:  Lunch \n14.30-16.00:  A Bactrian ewer (SW) \nClosing Discussion

SUMMARY:Mughal Miniature Painting with Ajay Sharma - Prince's School of Traditional Arts Course at the RAS
DESCRIPTION:Mughal Miniature Painting with Ajay Sharma \n24 – 28 July 2017\, 10:30-17:30 \nat The Royal Asiatic Society\, 14 Stephenson Way\, Kings Cross\, London NW1 2HD \nThis course will give students a thorough understanding of the materials\, procedures and skills required to make a traditional Indian Mughal miniature painting.
