Studio-Talk
result amongst workers facing the same difficulties
and problems, especially in a district which is not
too well blessed with a knowledge or appreciation
of refined or beautiful craftsmanship.
A two years’ life has fully justified the Guild’s
existence, and though nothing but comparatively
unostentatious work has been attempted, it has
left among its members nothing but pleasant im-
pressions. The coming exhibition will be the first
given under the auspices of the Guild. The
accompanying illustrations show a few examples of
the exhibits collected prior to the opening of the
exhibition, but must not be taken as representa-
tive of the whole. At the time of writing these
notes many prominent members are still at work
on their intended exhibits.
The catalogue has been the work chiefly of
H. C. D. Chorlton, and illustrates one of the prin-
ciples which the Guild has had in view, namely,
Edgar Wood will send
several examples of furni-
ture in oak and sycamore
decorated with inlays
and coloured gesso, as
well as a wrought-iron
gate, which was shown
at the recent metal exhi-
285
that being an artistic body, it should practice
what it preaches, and ignore no opportunity of
producing artistic effort in its working details. The
cover is printed in green and orange upon a cream
ground, and the ornament is a somewhat natural-
istic treatment of the apple-tree—a symbol of the
work of the Guild—a young shoot bearing fruit in
the shape of its first exhibition.
Ellen E. Houghton is sending a piece of em-
broidery for a piano frontal executed in various
colours, and the design of which is intended to
illustrate the influence of music upon ordinary in-
dividuals. F. W. Jackson will show a portion of a
painted frieze representing two seated figures nearly
life-size. The motif of the frieze is taken from
“ Paradise Lost,” and represents the various scenes
in which the flower and animal world form the
principal characteristics. It is decorative, har-
monious, and bright in its colour scheme. Robert
Hilton is sending a small panel of copper with
a Limoges plaque, and
also a sugar basin of
cocoa nut with silver
mounts, some enamels
for a processional cloth
and a book-cover in
copper and enamels.
James Smithies will show
a considerable number
of refousse articles in
copper for door and
house furniture, among
which are a panel in
copper and a casket in
brass and copper. B.
Schwabe’s umbrella
stand, here illustrated, is
in oak and copper with
a bold pattern boldly
worked. Wm. Burton
will be represented by
several examples of pot-
tery of much refinement
in their glaze and colour.
