An exhibition and publication celebrating the work of the women who learned design as juniors at the Canterbury College School of Art until the 1940s.
This exhibition, which includes copies of work produced by these women, celebrates particularly the class of 1939 and draws a direct link to the Arts and Crafts Movement of decorative design through the work they produced.
It also highlights the Junior School, a forgotten aspect of the Canterbury School of Fine Arts and Canterbury's history.
The work includes drawings, calligraphy, embroidery and metalwork, some of which shows a close connection with the Arts and Crafts Movement.
The students were taught by graduates of the Canterbury College School of Art, including Florence Atkins, Rata Lovell-Smith, Louise Henderson and Bill Sutton.
You are also warmly invited to the launch of the publication associated with the exhibition on 29 Oct, 5pm - 6pm, where writer Janet Abbott will talk about these women and their work.
