Eric Gill: The Body
Eric Gill: The Body (29 April - 3 September 2017) is an exhibition at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, co-curated by museum Director Nathaniel Hepburn, and artist Cathie Pilkington.
The museum is located in Gill's home village of Ditchling and holds many pieces of Gill's work in its collection. His depiction of the human form has become complicated by the knowledge of his biography, and the exhibition asks whether our knowledge of Gill's life impacts on our enjoyment and appreciation of the human figure.
Anton Pruden: The Silversmith
A short film by Alun Callender Photography for Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft about historic Ditchling silversmiths Pruden & Smith, run by Rebecca Smith and Anton Pruden. Anton’s grandfather Dunstan Pruden was a member of the Guild of St Joseph & St Dominic’s on Ditchling Common (you can view his work is on display in the museum.)
Pruden & Smith continue the Guild’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art and design, working out of their workshop and gallery on Ditchling crossroads which originally housed St Dominic's Press.
