Lambeth School of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lambeth School of Art was founded in 1854 by William Gregory as a night school associated with the St. Mary the Less Church in London.
The potter Henry Doulton had his works nearby and he began supporting the school early on. The collaboration provided Royal Doulton a supply of higher-quality artwork for its trade, and gave the Lambeth graduates employment. Many noted English modelers and sculptors owe their careers to this partnership.
In 1860 The Prince of Wales laid the foundation stones as the Art School moved to new purpose built premises in Millers Lane (now known as St Oswald’s Place).
In 1879 the School was taken over by the City and Guilds of London Institute and acquired premises in nearby Kennington Park Road, becoming known as the South London School of Technical Art. In 1938 it changed its name to the City and Guilds of London Art School.
