WOMEN PIONEERS OF THE ARTS & CRAFTS MOVEMENT

Zoom lecture by Karen Livingstone at 6.00 pm (London). She will be introducing her new book Women Pioneers of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which will be published by the V&A and Thames & Hudson (on 24 October 2024 in the UK and 19 November 2024 in America). The book celebrates the work and ambition of the women who were at the heart of the most influential art and design movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It shines a light on the vital contribution of figures such as May Morris, Gertrude Jekyll, Annie Garnett and many others, and describes the Arts & Crafts Movement from the perspective of these women, who worked against the odds as artists, makers, teachers, authors and entrepreneurs.
