Ladies' Class for Modelling and Wood Carving (Nottingham School of Art), 1873-1874

Start Date: June 1873
End Date: 1874 (Presumed)

Type: Art school class

Description: The 1873 Nottingham School of Art report states that 'we commenced a Ladies' class for "Modelling and Wood Carving." We have made a very fair start, and have every encouragement to hope that the class will become permanent. It opens a new field of art work for ladies, which will fully repay them for their application'.

This is the first time that modelling classes were discussed in the school's reports from 1869.
