Last chance to see 'The Bauhaus in Bristol' Ends Sat 25 January. The show celebrates the friendship of Bristol furniture manufacturer Crofton Gane with Bauhaus designer Marcel Breuer and the work they did together. Over less than two years they produced not just furniture but interior designs and the Gane Pavilion. #thetwentiethcenturysociety #c20society #c20 #bauhaus #bauhausinbristol #marcelbreuer #kenstradlingcollection #stradlingcollection #bristolart #architecture #modernism #bristol #exhibition #designhistory #bristoldesign @c20societyWe have had a brilliant day today exploring Printing the Bauhaus Way with Oli Timmins and Ollie Kent. The workshops formed part of the events to go with our Bauhaus in Bristol exhibition. Based in the print studio at Bristol School of Art, two enthusiastic groups explore collage and collagraph print techniques and came up with some excellent results. The emphasis on playful experimentation and on geometry echo the educational ideas of the Bauhaus, founded a century ago but so influential on our lives today. #bauhaus #bauhausprint #printmaking #collagraph #bauhausinbristol #kenstradlingcollection #stradlingcollection #kenstradling #bristolart #bristolfestivalofideas #bauhausdesign #bauhausgraphics #graphics #graphicdesign #artanddesign #bristoldesign #bristolschoolofart @bristol.schoolofart @stradlingcollectionKEN STRADLING AWARDED MBE IN NEW YEAR HONOURS for services to the arts in Bristol. 🍾💥🎉🍒👍🏺#kenstradling #kenstradlingcollection #bristol #bristolart #bristoldesign #arnolfini #bristolmuseums #bristolcharities @stradlingcollection @bristolguild @bristolmuseums @ssgreatbritain #bristolguild @parkstandqueensrdbristol #newyearhonours #heritagelotteryfund #ganetrust #artscouncil #artscouncilengland @ganetrust @heritagelotteryfundMerry Christmas Everyone from all of us at the Ken Stradling Collection! #stradlingcollection #kenstradlingcollection #bristolart #bristoldesign #waltergropius #tacteapot #tac #bauhaus #christmas #merrychristmas #christmasgreetings #sheringhamglass #rockinghorse @stradlingcollection
