About this Event
Led by Malcolm Enright, creator, designer and prolific collector, this special session gives you a rare look inside his remarkable collections and the stories behind them.
Malcolm’s collections on display at Precious are drawn on Brisbane’s past and beyond, among them packaging from defunct and enduring Brisbane businesses, hand-carved wooden objects, and intricate colonial-era frames known as ‘tramp-art’. Each piece has been carefully selected for its story, craftsmanship, and character.
Over tea and cake, Malcolm will share his approach to collecting, researching, and restoring these treasures in a relaxed session focused on conversation and discovery.
Included in your ticket:
- Precious exhibition tour followed by an informal Q&A
- Tea, coffee and cake
- Conversation with Malcolm Enright
