The Arts and Crafts Movement: a short introduction

Was the English Arts and Crafts Movement the most important art movement the country has produced? This talk will introduce the ideas and ideals behind what brought together a highly individual group of men and women to produce architecture, craft and art at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.

Arts and Crafts in Cotswold Churches

An exploration of the unusually high incidence of Arts and Crafts churches and fittings in the Cotswolds. In Cotswold churches work ranging across all disciplines can be seen by those members of the Movement who had moved to the area. We’ll examine how Arts and Crafts designers revolutionised church design and adapted to the needs of their patrons.

Women in the Arts and Crafts Movement in the Cotswolds

The Arts and Crafts Movement was one of the first art movements to recognise the artistry and skills of women artists and designers. In the Cotswolds, women designers worked as hard as men – but they are still today not as well-known as their male counterparts. This talk seeks to put right this situation!
