The Pyrgos Rugs
An illustrated talk by Denise Harvey, publisher and Jennifer Speake, scholar
and writer, about a remarkable rug-making enterprise set up by the
Australian humanitarian Joice Loch, a legendary figure for many visitors to
Mount Athos, to provide an income for the destitute refugees from Anatolia
settled on the Athos peninsula in 1922. Joice and her husband Sydney lived
in the massive Byzantine tower in Ouranoupolis, so ‘Pyrgos’ (Tower) was the
name given to the venture, which became so successful its rugs were sold
internationally. A small exhibition of rugs and related items will be on
display at the Centre for the talk. Free entry but please confirm attendance
on 020 7563 9835 or at
press@helleniccentre.org Organised by the Hellenic Centre.
