Newlyn INDUSTRIAL CLASSES

Newlyn INDUSTRIAL CLASSES
1890

A generic term used to identify those artist-led classes in embroidery, enamelling, jewellery-making, copper and metal-craft described under specialty names with NEWLYN as a prefix. From 1896 the Newlyn Industrial classes were exhibiting at the RCPS at Falmouth in the Annual Exhibitions. From 1924 they were also able to begin exhibiting at NAG, in the Craft Sections opened that year. Meantime, they had found markets and buyers regionally and nationally.
