Comments on: The CR Ashbee Lecture 2018 https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/10/10/the-cr-ashbee-lecture-2018/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 11 Oct 2018 16:06:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Mary https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/10/10/the-cr-ashbee-lecture-2018/#comment-1230881 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 16:06:05 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=169447#comment-1230881 Oh how I would love to be at the lecture for a variety of reasons.
For 4 years in the early 1970s I lived across the road from Bow Church in a student flat above Harry Rose’s bookmakers in what was then a parade of shops. Those shops have now all gone and newer flats built in their place.
I have come to love the Arts and Crafts period and Ashbee is one of my favourite designers from that time. Over the years I have collected several little pieces but have yet to acquire a piece from the Guild of Handicrafts.
I will be with you in spirit, and know it will be a wonderful evening!

Is there any way you could have the lecture either streamed live, or record it and made available for those who cannot make the lecture? I live in the United States, and simply cannot jump across “the Pond” to see it, but I would love to watch it.
