Influence and inspiration

The art and craft of Peggy Angus

Preview & opening lecture, Tuesday 15 November 2005
Exhibition, Wednesday 16 November to Thursday 15 December 2005 (opening times)

Exhibition preview & opening lecture: Tuesday 15 November

We begin in the Exhibition Room with a preview of the exhibition (from 5.30pm) before moving upstairs to the Bridewell Hall for the accompanying lecture at 7.00pm..

Our speaker, Carolyn Trant, was a student of Peggy Angus at the North London Collegiate School, and later continued to work with Peggy hand printing wallpaper at Camden Studio while studying art at the Slade. An independent artist and designer of her own books, she began to assist Peggy in writing her autobiography, and continued with research after Peggy?s death in 1993, finally producing ART for LIFE: the story of Peggy Angus, which was published earlier this year by Incline Press.

Tickets for the lecture, £5 or £3 concessions, available on the door.

Exhibition: 16 November to 15 December

The exhibition features the work of Peggy Angus ? paintings, portraits, teaching aids and hand printed wallpapers ? and the work of five who were influenced and inspired by Peggy Angus while learning with her.
