ancestry

Artists explore the theme of Ancestry each producing images that reflect their own unique backgrounds, histories and perspectives.

Janet Campbell:

Janet will be presenting several paintings exploring her maternal ancestry line through five generations – the mitochondrial line. There will be individual portraits and group scenes inspired by Velasquez’s Las Meninas utilising mixed media (oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal and collage) on canvas.

Carry Gorney:

Carry is using torn lace and old photographs, fragments salvaged from the vanishing world of her refugee ancestors. She has scorched and singed ghostly faces and created a series of ephemeral images by stitching heat-distressed fabrics to the lace of another time. Materials; lace, photographs, torn papers, inks, Tyvek, synthetics, acrylics, gelli-printing.

Sarah Phillips:

Sarah will be illustrating the threads of creativity that permeated her childhood and inspired a lifelong involvement with art, craft and design. Her maternal great grandfather was a Victorian lace designer in the East End and her great grandmother was a pattern cutter. One of her earliest memories is of her Sunday lace on a rag doll mob cap that her aunt made for her.  She will visually embody a nostalgic representation of the desire to collect, horde and recycle that she has inherited from her paternal grandmother who carefully and lovingly preserved buttons, lace, trimmings and unravelled wool.

Chris Demetriou:

Chris will be investigating the areas and specific places of London that have shaped his life, and that of his ancestors and children, utilising a series of photographs.

Veronica Slater:

Veronica Slater manipulates images, taken from old family album photographs. Producing a series of paintings, that probes our process of recognition. These create an unsettling iconography which perhaps reflects the emotional mine field that is family and is ultimately our ancestral legacy.

Litza Jansz:

Litza Jansz uses photo montage to reimagine the ages and relationships of family members over four generations. By playing with time in representing different generations interacting at the same age her work subverts the power relationships within families and the rigid boundaries of the nuclear families within them.

mini mozart

Mini Mozart offers fun and interactive live music classes for toddlers and babies. The classes feature two or more live instruments; a clarinet, violin, flute, French horn, saxophone or trumpet with a piano accompanist. The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children actually listening, not just hearing. Children interact with our live musicians in a way that is impossible with recorded music.

It’s hard to say which will be your favourite part of the class; the warm up where the teachers introduce their instruments allowing your little one to get up close and touch the instruments, or the part where they reveal their suitcase full of fun props that will entice your child on an interactive musical adventure.

Packed with puppets, parachutes & percussion, bursting with Bach & bubbles, and flush with fairy tales and flutes; follow our rotating team of 4 teachers and their piano accompanist on a multi-sensory musical journey that will inspire your little one with instruments from every section of the orchestra.

“I couldn’t wait to get out and about after Alfie was born. Mini Mozart was perfect because it was interesting for both of us!” Claire, Mum to Alfie (aged 4 months)

Start time: 9.30am for toddlers and 10.15 for babies.

ancestry

Artists explore the theme of Ancestry each producing images that reflect their own unique backgrounds, histories and perspectives.

Janet Campbell:

Janet will be presenting several paintings exploring her maternal ancestry line through five generations – the mitochondrial line. There will be individual portraits and group scenes inspired by Velasquez’s Las Meninas utilising mixed media (oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal and collage) on canvas.

Carry Gorney:

Carry is using torn lace and old photographs, fragments salvaged from the vanishing world of her refugee ancestors. She has scorched and singed ghostly faces and created a series of ephemeral images by stitching heat-distressed fabrics to the lace of another time. Materials; lace, photographs, torn papers, inks, Tyvek, synthetics, acrylics, gelli-printing.

Sarah Phillips:

Sarah will be illustrating the threads of creativity that permeated her childhood and inspired a lifelong involvement with art, craft and design. Her maternal great grandfather was a Victorian lace designer in the East End and her great grandmother was a pattern cutter. One of her earliest memories is of her Sunday lace on a rag doll mob cap that her aunt made for her.  She will visually embody a nostalgic representation of the desire to collect, horde and recycle that she has inherited from her paternal grandmother who carefully and lovingly preserved buttons, lace, trimmings and unravelled wool.

Chris Demetriou:

Chris will be investigating the areas and specific places of London that have shaped his life, and that of his ancestors and children, utilising a series of photographs.

Veronica Slater:

Veronica Slater manipulates images, taken from old family album photographs. Producing a series of paintings, that probes our process of recognition. These create an unsettling iconography which perhaps reflects the emotional mine field that is family and is ultimately our ancestral legacy.

Litza Jansz:

Litza Jansz uses photo montage to reimagine the ages and relationships of family members over four generations. By playing with time in representing different generations interacting at the same age her work subverts the power relationships within families and the rigid boundaries of the nuclear families within them.

Open times:

Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday: 11am – 4pm

Thursday: 11.30 – 4pm (please call to confirm the gallery is open)

mini mozart

Mini Mozart offers fun and interactive live music classes for toddlers and babies. The classes feature two or more live instruments; a clarinet, violin, flute, French horn, saxophone or trumpet with a piano accompanist. The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children actually listening, not just hearing. Children interact with our live musicians in a way that is impossible with recorded music.

It’s hard to say which will be your favourite part of the class; the warm up where the teachers introduce their instruments allowing your little one to get up close and touch the instruments, or the part where they reveal their suitcase full of fun props that will entice your child on an interactive musical adventure.

Packed with puppets, parachutes & percussion, bursting with Bach & bubbles, and flush with fairy tales and flutes; follow our rotating team of 4 teachers and their piano accompanist on a multi-sensory musical journey that will inspire your little one with instruments from every section of the orchestra.

“I couldn’t wait to get out and about after Alfie was born. Mini Mozart was perfect because it was interesting for both of us!” Claire, Mum to Alfie (aged 4 months)

Start time: 9.30am for toddlers and 10.15 for babies.

See Waterlow Park like you’ve never seen it before through the expert eyes of local historian Pam Cooper, who wrote the definitive history book  on the Park.

In 1889 Waterlow Park was given as a ‘garden for the gardenless’ but it was a long journey from the Tudor nobles who claimed the area for country residences until the Victorian Sir Sydney Waterlow brought it together in a grand act of philanthropy.

Meet in the central internal Courtyard at Lauderdale House.

To celebrate the Highgate Heritage Weekend we have a wide range of free history themed children’s activities including:

• Dress up with your parents as one of the colourful characters in Lauderdale House’s history
• Pretend to be royal – take a photo behind our cut out of King Charles II, Nell Gwynn and their baby
• Explore our ‘artefacts’ box – a selection of curious household objects from the past. Guess what they are; what they were used for and how old they might be!
• Go around the House with our family trail

We also have the Arts Award Discover Trail -Free but £6 if you wish to apply for a certificate (latest start 3.30pm).

If you’re arty, love Lauderdale House and aged 6 to 11 you could receive an Arts Award!

This is an opportunity to go around as a family with our Arts Award Trail looking at the House and gardens in a new light, drawing pictures and making observations.  It will take about an hour to complete.  Children can do it just for fun or if you’d like recognition of all your hard work you can hand it in with the £6 fee and we will send it off and Arts Award so the child receives a certificate to say s/he has completed the first stage in a series of awards recognising their interest in the arts.

Curious about Highgate, its origins, stories, green spaces and buildings?  Come in and talk to people who have an interest in and passion for local history.  There will be representatives and stalls from the Roman Kilns in Highgate Woods, Camden Tour Guides, HLSI, Lady Gould’s Charity, Highgate School Museum, Friends of Kenwood, Highgate Horticultural Society, Friends of Hornsey Church Tower, Friends of Highgate Library Shepherds Hill, Highgate Society and lots of information about Lauderdale House.

Uncover the architectural secrets of this fascinating 16^th century house with Peter Barber OBE, author of Lauderdale Revealed, who has been a vital figure in protecting our history from the devastating 1963 fire to the 2017 renovation. We will be opening up our 17^th century trompe l’oeil just for today!

Meet in the central internal Courtyard at Lauderdale House.
