Art Workers Guild 125 Years

Lara Platman, who has specialised in photographing performers, especially dancers, turns her lens to the Art Workers in their workplaces, in urban basements, country garden sheds, up scaffolds on building sites and on the beach with brushes and easels. The words and pictures show 130 of many outstanding designers and makers at work in Britain, recording lives of dedicated commitment, practical wisdom and enjoyment of the unexpected.
The book includes a brief history of the Guild and a description of its role, with a complete list of all current members and their occupations.
