A reminder: The centenary of the
Omega Workshops -- an early 20th century experimental design collective formed in 1913 by art critic
Roger Fry -- will be celebrated during the upcoming
London Design Festival. Activities include a painted objects masterclass led by
Sophie Coryndon at
The New Craftsmen Garage on Thursday, September 19 from 11 a.m. to 4.15 p.m. Since Omega members were artists associated with the
Bloomsbury Group (
Vanessa Bell,
Duncan Grant) who typically painted a wide variety of decorative items in addition to designing ceramics and
textiles inspired by the work of Matisse and Picasso, Coryndon's class participants will paint wooden writing cases, lampshades and lamp bases, and apple crates. Details
