The Society for the Arts and Crafts Movement in Surrey exists to celebrate
and foster interest in all forms of art, architecture and design of 'The
Arts and Crafts Era' - the period from 1870 to 1930. The Society is concerned
with the conservation and awareness of works associated with the period
and is gathering together information such as publications, photographs
and drawings relating to this extraordinary period of creativity in Surrey.
The Society was formed in 1996 to act as a forum for those who share
this interest and enthusiasm. Members enjoy a programme of lectures, usually
held at the Watts Gallery at
Compton, study days and visits and receive the Society's newsletters. New
members are always welcome and there are plenty of opportunities to
assist with the Society's projects
for those who wish to.
