A Critical Survey of the Coronation Decorations (Art Workers Guild), 1937
End Date: 16 July 1937
Type: Lecture and discussion
Description: G. Grey Wornum spoke about the difficulties of decorating nine miles of London streets. Post interval, H. T. Smith spoke, followed by A. Rackham, W. Marsden, C. Emanuel, M. J. Dawson and F. Bentham. Congratulations were offered to Wornum for decorations (Fifty-fourth annual report of committee of the Art Workers' Guild, 1938, pp. 14-15).
Policy: 'Founded in 1883, with the object of bringing into closer union the workers in various arts and crafts - architects, painters, designers of all kinds, sculptors and wood-carvers, metal-workers, goldsmiths, and many others - chiefly by evening meetings and discussions on different lines and methods in art. Meetings are held fortnightly, when papers are read and their subjects illustrated as fully as possible. Visitors must be introduced by a member' (Year's Art, 1913, pp. 169-70).
