Free, drop in. Carshalton Artists Open Studios will, in 2019 celebrate the work of Carshalton Arts and Crafts artist, Frank Dickinson.

In 2018 CAOS celebrated the work of Pauline Boty, with three schools joining CAOS artists in producing nearly 300 works of A5 artwork, inspired by Boty and displayed in businesses across Carshalton. Carshalton Artists plan on doing the same with Dickinson in 2019.

An Unexpected Treasure -
Tales from the oldest senior school in Sutton Thursday 26 September 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Sutton High School was founded in 1884 by the Girls’ Day School Company, whose purpose was to provide a ‘public school’, liberal education for middle-class girls. The school is fortunate enough to possess a substantial archive which includes magazines, log-books, various artefacts and a wealth of photographs. The archive reveals the school to be a microcosm of national events such as the two World Wars and the development of women’s rights. It gives us a unique, sometimes poignant and occasionally humorous insight into Sutton’s past as will be revealed by Sue James. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |
