Margaret Calkin James was an artist who could turn her hand to almost anything. In the 1920s and '30s, she designed posters for London Transport, Shell and others in a bright Art Deco style. She also produced book jackets, textiles, botanical illustrations and fine calligraphy. This exhibition rediscovers the work of a remarkable artist. Closed on Monday.
Admission is free.
Archibald Knox at the Silver Studio. A native of the Isle of Man, his work combined the traditions of Celtic art with shapes and forms that looked forward to the Modern Movement. Between 1897 and 1900, Knox was closely associated with the Silver Studio, a leading commercial design practice based in London. His earliest work for the Studio included large pastel designs for wallpapers and furnishing textiles, many of which can be seen in this exhibition. Although accomplished in the design of flat-patterns, Knox is better known for his silver and pewter ware.
