Witchcraft’s Artefacts - An Illustrated Lecture by Sara Hannant
Objects, exuding magic and mystery, emerge from the darkness
of Cornwall’s much loved Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. Artist and
photographer Sara Hannant has captured
the essence of these carefully selected artifacts, which include wax dolls,
wands, statues, daggers, pendants, robes and amulets. Some have been displayed
at the museum for years, others have long been hidden in its archives. Using
her own magical tool, the camera, she found that “it was best to photograph at
night. This enabled the objects to emerge from the darkness, where it is said
magic begins.” Tonight’s stunning visual lecture shows what her residency
revealed. Sara’s books are Mummers,
Maypoles and Milkmaids and forthcoming Of Shadows, One Hundred Objects from the
Museum of Witchcraft and Magic.
