The Society was established in the 1970s. It aims to encourage the study and enjoyment of architecture, buildings, their contents and settings by organising lectures and visits. It usually holds its lectures in the Fine Art Lecture Theatre, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, and enjoys a close association with the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape of Newcastle University. (Read our constitution, revised October 2018).
Arts and Crafts Furniture
At our November lecture, Nicholas Hobbs, the established British designer-craftsman of fine furniture, will discuss a selection of his work for home and ecclesiastical settings. Nicholas will also talk about his Arts and Crafts forebears and how their skills and methods of design and construction have inspired him. His work in producing contemporary pieces in the Arts and Crafts tradition was recognised in 2010 with a 25-year retrospective exhibition at the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow, London.
