‘Good workmanship with happy thought’

Arts and Crafts expert Mary Greensted explores the fascinating history of Ernest Gimson’s metalwork and Cotswold Arts & Crafts traditions. Gimson (1864-1919) is best remembered as a furniture designer and architect but his metalwork designs were inspirational. He set up a smithy in Sapperton where the young men he employed produced useful and beautiful work under his guidance for use in the home and churches.
