I am not planning on doing any further Peasant Arts walks. I am all "walked out", so I am thinking that this is my last Peasant Arts walk. It would be lovely to have some interested people to talk to about our interesting Peasant Arts heritage.

This is a fascinating website and clearly represents a vast amount of original research. I am interested in the Peasant Arts Society because I am working on the diaries of Violet Dickinson, who visited the workshop in Haslemere in 1912 (I can send you the relevant quotation from her diary but it is only a few lines long I'm afraid). The Dickinsons were also very enthusiastic about Stallworthy(?) pottery from Haslemere - do you know anything about this? Violet's father was a noted London art dealer specializing in oriental pottery.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeremy
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds very interesting. I'll have to look into any Violet Dickinson connections. My e-mail is sea_mc_air@yahoo.com , I'd love to see the diary entry. Stallworthy pottery was the HAMMER VALE POTTERY, business of W.W. Stallworthy and Radley Young 1901-1911. I don't know much about the pottery and I haven't seen much of a write up on it. They hold some of the works at the Haslemere museum. http://www.haslemeremuseum.co.uk/sochis.html
