NEWLYN INDUSTRIAL CLASS:
There is an incredible history of Newlyn found at the Head, Heart & Hand website (see the homepage). Newlyn was a craft society formed in 1890 in the countryside of England, Cornwall. John Pearson taught there after a stint at the Guild of Handicraft with CR Ashbee & brought great influence over their work. Much of the work is nautical & oceanic in theme as Newlyn was made up of many off season fisherman.
