SUMMARY:Traditional Arts Fair Workshop – Duang's Classic Thai Cooking
DESCRIPTION:Our new series of Traditional Arts Fair Workshops \nBOOK NOW\nI love to cook and share my love of cooking. It is an experience of the heart\, mind and senses. \nAfter sixty years of fine tuning how to make food taste as good as it can be\, I concluded that good food comes from good ingredients. Nothing can be better than fresh\, local\, seasonal and\, whenever possible\, organic foods. \nAll classes will be partially hands on and partially show and tell. In order to maximise your experience\, classes are limited to a maximum of eight participants. This creates a class environment that is friendly\, casual\, interactive and intimate. \nThis workshop will be held in our Garden Room kitchen and will allow a maximum of 8 people to allow for social distancing. \n   \nA Complete Thai Dinner: My intention for this class is to provide tools and tricks for everyone to feel confident in understanding and creating a Complete Thai Dinner for family or guests. I will show and explain the basic essentials of a Thai pantry\, where to get them and how to use them. Then together we will make an appetiser\, at least three main dishes: curry starting with making the paste\, another method of cooking protein\, and a vegetable dish which may be a salad or a cooked vegetable. Cooking perfect rice is also essential in this class. Of course\, no meal is complete without dessert. \nPossible dishes include (but may change if ingredients are not available) \n\nThai fish cakes with sauce\nRed curry paste for steamed custard curry\nSom Tum salad using seasonal Australian vegetables and fruit\nVermicelli salad\nJasmine and rice medley\n\nDessert \n\nTub Tim Krob (crunchy ruby) in sweet coconut sauce\n\n​Produce used: \nMost of the ingredients will be from surrounding farms\, local\, seasonal and fresh. We use organic produce whenever possible. Some ingredients will be from the garden less than 10 metres away from the kitchen. \nClass Hours and Sharing of food and beverages: \nAll classes start at 10:30am and typically runs for 4 to 4 ½ hours. A light snack is served with homemade kombucha on arrival. \nAfter class\, we will sit down and enjoy lunch together with your beverage of choice:  wine\, beer or homemade kombucha. \nClass and Booking Policy:​ \n\n\nMaximum number of participants = eight. \n\n\nIf too few participants have registered\, the class will be cancelled with a full refund offered. \n\n\nIf you need to cancel\, please do so up to one week prior to the class date; otherwise a refund will not be available. \n\n\nOther information: \n\n\nWear comfortable clothing with toe covered shoes. \n\n\nAprons and knives are provided in class. If you have your favourites\, please bring these along. \n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Buda 'Unlocked' House Tours 2019
DESCRIPTION:  \nTraditional Arts Fair – Sunday 24th November 2019 \nNew tours – An exclusive opportunity\nBook your house tour to gain some special insights into \nErnest Leviny\, family life and the unique art collection at Buda \nTickets: $8 per person (Tour numbers limited) \nBOOK NOW\nor on the day at the booking table \nTOURS SCHEDULE: \n11.00 am         A Happy Family:  The Levinys’ childhood memories growing up at Buda \nOn this tour you will be introduced to Buda as a family home during the late 1800s\, through the eyes of the Leviny children. Hilda was the youngest of the ten Leviny children\, and was in her mid-nineties when interviewed about family life at Buda\, from which many wonderful stories and anecdotes are shared. Buda also has the diaries of two other sisters\, along with a large number of family photographs and items within the house which bring the family home to life. \n12.00 pm      A Golden Opportunity:  Ernest Leviny’s Story \nA goldsmith and jeweller in the European centres of Budapest\, Paris and London before venturing out to the Australian goldfields in the early 1850s\, Ernest Leviny’s story is one of optimism\, adventure and opportunity along the way. His success as a businessman in the pioneering days of Castlemaine set him up for life as a retired gentleman by age 45 years\, going on to own a desirable suburban villa with a large garden\, marry and raise a family of ten children at Buda. \n1.00 pm        Art Influences and Influencers: A Focus on the Buda Collection \nThe Leviny children were raised by their parents to appreciate the arts and culture from an early age. The daughters\, in particular\, were immersed in fine and applied arts as well as handicrafts during the 1890s and early 1900s. They maintained a life-long interest as both makers and collectors of art\, with a circle of friends that included artists amongst them. The Buda art collection reflects the women’s interest in mostly Australian\, and particularly the work of women artists of the early twentieth century – with a number of remarkable gems to be found amongst them. \n2.00 pm        Buda – A Family Home:   A General Tour \nBuda is a distinctive family home dating from the Castlemaine goldrush days up until 1980 when the last surviving child of Ernest and Bertha Leviny died and it became a house museum. The property encapsulates the aspirations\, ideals\, lifestyle and changes that took place over the 118 years of one family’s occupation at Buda. This is considerably enriched by the rare and intact collection of the Leviny’s personal belongings that remain within the house. Enjoy a step back in time!

SUMMARY:Buda Annual Fundraising Dinner
DESCRIPTION:THE JOSINE MCEWAN MEMORIAL LECTURE      SOLD OUT\nBOOK NOW\n\nThe late Josine McEwan was a volunteer in the garden at Buda Historic Home & Garden in Castlemaine.  Knowing how important Buda is to the region and wanting it to remain open for future generations to enjoy\, Josine left a generous bequest to Buda when she passed away in 2006. Since 2007 an annual lecture and fundraising dinner has been conducted in Josine’s memory. \nKatie Finlay is a third-gen farmer who has been growing organic fruit for more than 20 years on her family farm at Harcourt in central Victoria. For this year’s lecture\, Katie is going to speak about the individual’s role in agriculture and sustainability. \nIn 2018 she and husband Hugh started the Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op (HOFC)\, a new farming model which has created a succession pathway for Hugh and Katie while allowing them to stay on the farm. \nThe new model also provides access to farmland for emerging farmers and has increased the overall productivity and profitability of the farm. \nSince leasing the orchard out under the new co-op structure\, Katie and Hugh have focused on their Grow Great Fruit business\, teaching organic fruit growing to backyard growers throughout Australia with more than 50 online short courses and the GGF Home-study Program. \nThe co-op currently has five members (Tellurian Fruit Gardens\, Sellar Farmhouse Dairy\, Gung Hoe Growers\, Carr’s Organic Fruit Tree Nursery and Grow Great Fruit)\, with plans to add more members with compatible farming ideas. \nWhile each business is responsible for their own sales\, part of the purpose of HOFC is co-marketing\, through a number of different outlets including a Farm Shop\, a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme\, and in an exciting new development\, a collaboration with Castlemaine Farmers Market to start a new weekly mid-week market. \nKatie also drives the ‘Business Ninja’ program within HOFC to provide members with business skills.

SUMMARY:Mother's Day High Tea
DESCRIPTION:Mother’s Day High Tea and special afternoon of music\n  \nFeaturing Blue Tango – Unique arrangements of Jazz flavoured classic pop songs\n  \n‘ Why don’t we take a little piece of summer sky\,hang it in a tree For that’s the way to start to make a pretty world for you and for me’\n\n\nOur High Tea includes\n\nSparkling wine on arrival\nHigh tea\, savouries and sweets served to your table\nLeaf tea and brewed coffee\nOptional guided tour of the house and garden\n\n  \n$45 ADULT $42 CONC\n$40 FRIENDS OF BUDA\n\n  \n\n[vc_video link=’http://www.youtube.com/v/u-qpeIrTFYY’] Blue Tango is Lynne Gough (vocals and percussion) and Dave Richard (vocals and guitar). No other sounds (they minimalist vulnerability!). Their name comes from the million-selling instrumental hit of 1952. It was a tango in blues form played by a classical orchestra– a great example of the rich mixture typical of great pop music. So Blue Tango points to their love of jazzy popular music. They see ourselves as part of the current ‘retro chic’ phenomenon which includes Diana Krall\, Harry Connick Jr\, Norah Jones\, Michael Buble and the huge success of the Rod Stewart Great American Songbook series of CDs. They produce interesting\, original guitar/vocal arrangements of classic pop songs. \nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Pursuits of Passion and Principle
DESCRIPTION:Buda Exhibition during the Castlemaine State Festival and beyond\nAustralian Arts & Crafts Jewellery and Decorative Arts\nfrom public and private collections\nThis year Buda is presenting a special exhibition of Australian Arts and Crafts jewellery and decorative arts ‘Pursuits of Passion and Principle’  to complement the existing collection of original artworks and ornamental pieces in the house and garden belonging to the Leviny family. \nThe Arts and Crafts Movement\, begun by William Morris in Britain in the mid-1800s\, greatly influenced the Leviny daughters who lived at Buda. Their passion to decorate the family home with items both ‘beautiful and useful’ is still a feature of the house interior today. \nThis Victorian-style ‘gentleman’s villa’ house with its impressive 1.2 hectare (3 acre) garden\, was owned by Hungarian goldsmith and jeweller\, Ernest Leviny. In the early 1900s the interior of the home was transformed by his daughters\, who infused their great passion for the British Arts and Crafts Movement (influenced by William Morris and his followers) on the internal fittings and décor throughout the house. Many of the Leviny daughters’ original handcrafted items are still a feature of the house interior today. \nOf further interest is the remnant collection of silvermithing items and jewellery designs created by Ernest Leviny\, along with a number of original Australian artworks\, decorative objects and handcrafts collected by the Leviny during their lives. Buda is on the registers of the National Estate and Heritage Victoria\, and is also an Accredited Museum. \nCastlemaine State Festival 23-31 March 2019 \nPursuits of Passion and Principal 23 March – 19 May \n\nDeer Enamelwork Box \n \nBrooch by Rhoda Wager \n  \n\n \nHere is a taste of what is on offer by our curator.\n[vc_video link=’https://youtu.be/G_7rwFPLfXc’] \n\n
