On Thursday I did an evening talk at Winterbourne about my current project. I also have a workshop coming up on October 16th. We will be looking at the plasterwork decorations in the house, linking them to the border details in the Kelmscott books and producing some lino cuts inspired by the gardens.
The plaster details are the work of George Bankart (1866-1929) who was born in Leicester and worked with Ernest Gimson, who introduced him to William Morris. In 1899 he moved to Bromsgrove and for the next seven years worked with the Bromsgrove Guild.
