THIS AFTERNOON R. M. Y. Gleadowe is to give the last of his talks in this series, and the subject matter for today is, ' Some Crafts '.
He will show how common sense and honesty have combined with skill and invention to enable our craftsmen to excel in all the crafts which the great material resources of Britain have fostered.
Our woodworkers, for instance, have contrived big feats in engineering, in ships, roofs, and bridges, and subtle delicate forms for use and beauty.
British craftsmanship is, above all, adaptable, and has been equal to any refinement which purpose, tact, or fashion has demanded.
Mr. Gleadowe will speak of brick-layers, plasterers, lead-founders; of goldsmiths, potters, and glass-blowers. And he will conclude these broadcasts, which he has given every Sunday since January 14, on a high note of optimism. The best of British Art is yet to come.
