GALLERY TALK: The New Craftsman Gallery (1965-2023)

  • New Craftsman Gallery 24 Fore Street St Ives, Cornwall, TR26 1HE United Kingdom (map)

Crafts Study Centre Curator Greta Bertram will be giving a talk at the New Craftsman Gallery in St Ives, Cornwall. The influential shop-cum-gallery was founded by Janet Leach in 1965. This talk traces its history, from its roots in The Craftsmen's Shop, set up by David Leach and Robin Nance in 1952, to its present form as the New Craftsman Gallery, run by Ylenia Haase since 2008.

This talk is part of the St Ives Festival and is held in association with the exhibitions New Craftsman, St Ives: The Craft of Selling at the Crafts Study Centre, 12 September to 16 December 2023, and New Craftsman: Past, Present, Future at the New Craftsman Gallery, 9 September to 6 October 2023.
