The Arts and Craft Movement Lecture

Northwich
Cheshire
CW8 3AD

A lecture by art historian Adrian Sumner looking at the late Victorian flowering of Native Craft Skills, in the face of increasing industrialization and standardization.

Led by William Morris and John Ruskin, who between them, aided and abetted by some of the greatest artists of the period (Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Walter Crane), effected a sea-change in design which would have echoes across Europe for almost a century, and, in the process, created some of the most beautiful art and artifacts ever made.

 

 

A feast for the eye, the heart, the mind and the soul.
