To celebrate the publication of Unbuilt: Radical visions of a future that never arrived by Christopher Beanland, The London Society will bring together a panel of experts to discuss the never-realised projects that might have reshaped the capital.

These grand endeavours often stayed on the drawing board, either because they were too adventurous to build or the political winds of the time weren’t blowing in the right direction. However, these schemes have left their mark on our imagination of what could have been. They help us to understand the motivations of architects, clients and city planners of certain eras and provide lessons for today.

Awe-inspiring concepts were often conceived to help make the world a better place but they could also be the product of huge egos. Some of them represent missed opportunities and others are probably best left in the bottom drawer. What can we do to learn from the past and build better for the future?

Speakers include:

• Christopher Beanland, journalist and author
• Dr. Elain Harwood, architectural historian Historic England
• Melodie Leung, associate director Zaha Hadid Architects

Attendees of the talk will be able to purchase a signed copy of  Unbuilt at a discounted rate.

When: Thursday, 17 February 2022  6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Where: ING Media, 21 Curtain Rd, EC2A 3LT

Price: £5-£15

This will be an ‘in person’ event, we will not be streaming or recording this event.

About the book

Unbuilt tells the stories of the plans, drawings and proposals that emerged during the 20th century in an unparalleled era of optimism in architecture. Richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, maps, collages and models from all over the world, it covers everything from Buckminster Fuller’s plan for a ‘Domed city’ in Manhattan to Le Corbusier’s utopian dream of skyscraper living in central Paris, from a proposed network of motorways ploughing through central London to a crazy-looking scheme for ‘rolling pavements’ in post-war Berlin.

In the thick of the 2021 coronavirus lockdown, designer and shopowner Eleanor Tattersfield put out a call on Instagram: ‘I’ll send you a postcard, you send me a secret’. Lockdown Secrets is an astonishing record of what happened next. The book features a host of revealing and intriguing anonymous postcards detailing shameful acts people have perpetrated during the pandemic.

Join Eleanor ‘The Keeper of the Secrets’ at Waterstones Piccadilly where she will chat about the project and read out some of her favourite postcards. We’ve all been through the lockdown experience, and every reader will find something to relate to in this fascinating collection, a perfect snapshot of an extraordinary time.

The event will be followed by a book signing.

When: Thursday 10 February, 18.30
Where: Waterstones Piccadilly, London
Price: £16 Book & Ticket (includes booking fee) / £8 General Admission (includes booking fee) /£6 Waterstones Plus Cardholder (includes booking fee)

We’re excited to announce that B.T. Batsford Ltd has appointed John Stachiewicz as its Chair.

John started his publishing career at Transworld before moving to HarperCollins where he was Managing Director of the International Division. Subsequently, he moved to the National Trust to head up commercial, academic and membership publishing for books and magazines. More recently, John worked as Commercial Director at the Tate Gallery, with responsibility for publishing, brand and image licensing and filming.

John has also been heavily involved in key trade associations, most recently as Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Association for Cultural Enterprises (a membership organisation including national museums, galleries, culture and heritage organisations). In addition to his Chair duties for Batsford, he is currently an independent consultant to the culture, heritage and publishing sector, Chair of The Big Draw/The Campaign for Drawing, and a board member of The Hepworth Wakefield Enterprises.

John Stachiewicz said:

‘I am delighted to have been asked by Polly Powell to take on the role of Chair of Batsford as we enter a new phase in the company’s history. I have no doubt that Polly’s vision and acumen will take Batsford to new heights and will build on the legacy of almost 180 years of publishing success as an innovative and entrepreneurial independent publishing house. I look forward to being a part of that, and to using my experience to support Polly and her great team. I would like to thank the outgoing Chair, Vaughan Grylls, for the leadership, warmth, wit and good humour that he has always shown during his period of tenure, and am grateful for his continuing support to the Board.’

Polly Powell, Owner and Publisher of B. T. Batsford said:

‘I have known John for a long time and have admired his work for organisations such as the Tate and the National Trust. I am delighted that he has accepted the role of Chair for Batsford. His experience and enthusiasm for publishing, art and heritage is a fantastic asset for the company as we continue to build on the success of the Batsford brand.’

B. T. Batsford Ltd was established in 1843. In the last two decades, Batsford has been a part of other publishing companies, most recently under Pavilion Books. As of 1 December 2021, Batsford, along with the Pitkin imprint, forms¬ the privately owned company B. T. Batsford Ltd.

In this illustrated talk, Christopher Beanland will take you on a journey around the world as it could have been. Along the way, you will discover the most exciting architectural projects never built, from a dome over Manhattan to rolling pavements in Berlin.

In his new book Unbuilt, Christopher tells the stories of the plans, drawings and proposals that have emerged since the 20th century in an unparalleled era of optimism in architecture. Many of these grand projects stayed on the drawing board, some were flights of fancy that couldn’t be built, and in other cases test structures or parts of buildings did emerge in the real world.

Join Birmingham Modernist Society to hear Christopher talk about his journey in assembling Unbuilt and the drawings, visions and abandoned projects he found along the way. The talk will be followed by a book singing.

This event is FREE to attend. Book your place here.

Tina Persaud, Publishing Director of Batsford at Pavilion Books, has acquired world rights to Lockdown Secrets by Eleanor Tattersfield from David H Headley at DHH Literary Agency, which is set to be a must-have gift book for Christmas 2021.

In the thick of the 2020 coronavirus lockdown, designer and shopowner Eleanor Tattersfield put out a call on Instagram: ‘I’ll send you a postcard, you send me a secret’. Lockdown Secrets is an astonishing record of what happened next. The book offers a compelling collection of anonymous postcards sent during lockdown, revealing hilarious, salacious, relatable and sometimes heartbreaking secret confessions.

Postcards poured in, some beautifully decorated, some simply handwritten, but each one anonymously sharing a very personal confession. They came from people of all ages and all walks of life, even including some celebrities. This book brings together the best of the postcards and all human life is here: furtive infidelities, bad behaviour in the local bakery, sneaking off for baths during a busy homeschooling schedule, rediscovered marital bliss, and, occasionally, poignant moments of sadness and despair.

The project has attracted media attention from all over the world, including pieces on Channel 4 News in the UK and 9 News Sydney in Australia, as well as coverage in national newspapers. A beautiful must-have gift this Christmas, Lockdown Secrets is a perfect snapshot of an extraordinary time.

Tina Persaud, Publishing Director at Batsford said:  

“ We’re delighted to be working with Eleanor. Her Lockdown Secrets campaign reveals extraordinary confessions that vary from the hilarious to the heartbreaking.  The beautiful postcards are a real insight into lockdown Britain.”

Eleanor Tattersfield commented:

“I’m thrilled to be working with the team at Batsford, as they get how exciting and important to the history of lockdown this project is and will pull out all the stops, like me, to get this beautiful book under every Christmas tree this year!”

Eleanor Tattersfield is the proprietor of Marby & Elm, a print workshop and stationery store on Exmouth Market, London, where she designs and hand-makes stationery. The shop started in her garden shed and grew into a family business, and her products are now stocked in Liberty London.

Lockdown Secrets by Eleanor Tattersfield will be published by Batsford on 7^th October 2021, Hardback, £12.99, ISBN 978184994728

Come along to textile artist and author Anne Kelly’s new exhibition – Well Travelled at Ruthin Craft Centre. An intricate, rich and beautiful journey celebrating textiles, travelling, memories and making.

Anne Kelly is, quite literally, well-travelled. Before the pandemic, she travelled all over the world: to teach, exhibit, to see family and for play. Her textile work has long been characterised by travel: travel in the sense of trains, boats and planes. But also travel in the sense of personal journeys over time and through history. Travel is also the theme of Anne’s latest book Textile Travels. When she can travel, Anne derives immense joy and inspiration from new places and new people. She keeps many sketchbooks, wherein she collects bits and pieces, images and ideas. But when making her work she likes to start with a piece of fabric – even a scrap – and build on that.

Anne is a collector (if not a hoarder) of textile related flotsam and jetsam. But she also collects memories; of places she has visited in person, of course. But also places and scenes she has visited in exhibitions, in books and films. Anne’s work reminds us that the mind keeps travelling, regardless of what our bodies are doing. In Well Travelled she exhibits so many ways of celebrating her and our memories of travel, past and future.

Meet the artist and book signing event

Anne will be signing copies of her books Textile Travels and Textile Folk Art at Ruthin Craft Centre, Saturday 5^th June, 2-4 pm. The exhibition and book signing are free, but it’s advisable that you make a General Admission booking for the timeslot specified to avoid disappointment. Book your free ticket via Eventbrite here.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Annes latest book Textile Travels is an evocative exploration of how travel – local and far away – can inform, inspire and enhance textile art.

Travel has always featured heavily in textile art, from artists’ ‘travelling sketchbooks’ to large-scale installations mapping coastal erosion or the effects of climate change. In this book, renowned textile artist Anne Kelly shows how to capture your travels, past and present, in stitch, with practical techniques sitting alongside inspiring images.

Including a wealth of practical tricks and techniques as well as exquisite photography of both Anne’s own work and that of other leading textile artists, this fascinating book will inspire all textile artists, embroiderers and makers to use past travels to influence their work.

Anne’s previous books include Textile Folk Art and Textile Nature. She is also the co-author of Connected Cloth.

Adam Dant has created a brand new commemorative map to mark the 300th anniversary of the first foundation stone being laid at the Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields. Unveiled for all to enjoy for the first time at The St-Martin-in-the-Fields Crypt Gallery ‘The Novel Map of the Parish of St Martin in the Fields’ forms the exciting centrepiece for an exhibition of the artist’s lively depictions of London public spaces. Using Dant’s novel map, visitors are encouraged to revive the tradition of ‘beating the bounds’ of The Parish of St-Martin in the Fields, walking its perimeter so to reaffirm their memory of the streets and sights that have lain unvisited through a year of lockdown.

Visitors to the exhibition will also be able to enjoy large scale prints from Dant’s series of depictions of ‘London Squares’ including, on show for the first time, his depiction of the vibrant tumult and turmoil of nearby Leicester Square. The exhibition is the perfect way to celebrate a return to our extraordinary capital after twelve long months and salute St Martin-in-the-Fields’ significant 300th anniversary.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Maps of London & Beyond is a spectacular, large-format collection of Adam Dant’s fine art maps giving a unique view of our history and life today.

Artist and cartographer Adam Dant surveys London’s past, present and future from his studio in the East End. Beautiful, witty and subversive, his astonishing maps offer a compelling view of history, lore, language and life in the capital and beyond.

Traversed by a plethora of colourful characters including William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Mary Wollstonecraft and Barbara Windsor, Adam Dant’s maps extend from the shipwrecks on the bed of the Thames to the stars in the sky over Soho. Along the way, he captures all the rich traditions in the capital, from brawls and buried treasure to gin and gentlemen’s clubs.

Accompanying text by the artist gives the background to each of the handsome cartographic artworks, revealing his inspirations and artistic process and outlining his cultural allusions. Reproduced in large format, the maps invite the reader to study all the astonishing and often hilarious details within, offering hours of fascination for the curious.

To celebrate World Art Deco Day, the Twentieth Century Society has teamed up with architecture historian Elain Harwood, who will give a talk about this most fantastic of styles. Based on her book Art Deco Britain (Batsford), Elain will take you on a tour of cinemas, seaside buildings, factories and other Art Deco buildings in Britain.

What Elain finds most fascinating about Art Deco is that so many of the finest buildings were for ordinary people, bringing style to cinemas, swimming pools and public buildings. So while Claridges and the Savoy will be in there, so too will the Carlton, Essex Road and Granada, Tooting cinemas, swimming pools in Northampton and lidos in Penzance and Plymouth. The talk will look at the origins of the eclectic Art Deco style of the 1920s, and also include examples of the calmer, more sophisticated modern style that superseded it in the 1930s.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The perennially popular style of Art Deco-influenced architecture and design all over the world in the 1920s and 1930s – from elegant Parisian theatres to glamorous Manhattan skyscrapers. The style was also adopted by British architects, but, until now, there has been little that really explains the what, where and how of Art Deco buildings in Britain. In Art Deco Britain, leading architecture historian and writer Elain Harwood brings her trademark clarity and enthusiasm to the subject as she explores Britain’s Art Deco buildings.

Art Deco Britain, published in association with the Twentieth Century Society, is the definitive guide to the architectural style in Britain. The book begins with an overview of the international Art Deco style, and how this influenced building design in Britain. The buildings covered include Houses and Flats; Churches and Public Buildings; Offices; Hotels and Public Houses; Cinemas, Theatres and Concert Halls; and many more.

The book covers some of the best-loved and some lesser-known buildings around the UK, such as the Midland Hotel in Morecambe, Eltham Palace, Broadcasting House and the Carreras Cigarette Factory in London. Beautifully produced and richly illustrated with architectural photography, this is the definitive guide to a much-loved architecture style.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Elain Harwood is the historian at English Heritage responsible for its post-war research and listing programme. Her publications on the subject include England’s Post-war Listed Buildings and Space, Hope and Brutalism: English Architecture 1945–1975 and many articles for Twentieth-Century Architecture, the journal of the Twentieth-Century Society.

When: Wednesday 28th April, 6.30pm
Where: Online
Tickets:£3 for Twentieth Century Society members, £5 for non-members

ABOUT THE BOOK

Following on from her textile hit Slow Stitch, author Claire Wellesley-Smith considers the importance of connection and ideas around wellbeing when using textiles for individuals and communities, including practical ideas around ‘thinking-through-making’, using ‘resonant’ materials and extending the life of pieces using traditional and non-traditional methods. Contemporary textile artists using these themes in their work feature alongside personal work from Claire and examples from community-based textile projects. The book features some of the very best textile artists around, esteemed American fibre artists and the doyenne of textiles, Alice Kettle.

Resilient fabrics that can be manipulated, stressed, withstand tension and be made anew are recommended throughout the book, as well as techniques such as layering, patching, reinforcing, re-stitching and mending, plus ideas for the inclusion of everyday materials in your work. There’s an exploration of ways to link your emotional health with your textile practice, and ‘Community’ suggests ways to make connections with others in your regular textile work. ‘Landscape’ has a range of suggestions and examples of immersing your work in the local landscape, a terrific way to find meaning in your work and a sense of place. Finally, there is a moving account of one textile community’s creative response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Claire Wellesley-Smith is a textile artist, writer and researcher, based in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Her long-term community engagement projects explore textile heritage, wellbeing and slow craft techniques. She teaches extensively, working in adult education, schools, community-based projects, museums and galleries. Her workshops involve sustainable stitch, repurposed cloth, and traditional techniques.

Bestselling illustrator Millie Marotta has teamed up with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust to launch a fundraising campaign to help plant and protect 1,000 trees. The Wild About Woodlands appeal is hoping to raise £10,000 to create new woodland corridors across the National Park, to enable wildlife to grow and thrive.

Millie, who lives in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, has always had a strong connection to nature and wildlife – a source of endless inspiration and the theme at the heart of her popular colouring books. In her latest book Millie Marotta’s Woodland Wild (Batsford), Millie celebrates the glorious wildlife found in the world’s woodlands, at a time when many of them face increasing environmental threats. By joining forces with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust, she hopes to highlight the importance of woodlands, not only globally, but also on a local scale. She said:

‘I’m thrilled to be supporting the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust’s Wild About Woodlands appeal. As our woodlands here in Pembrokeshire, across the UK and the rest of the world face increasing environmental threats, it’s important that we try to do whatever we can to protect these rich habitats and safeguard a future for our wildlife. What better way to get involved than helping enable wildlife to grow and thrive right here at home in Pembrokeshire.’

You can help woodlands too

Every donation big or small will help make a difference. And as a way of saying thank you, everyone who donates will receive an exclusive colouring sheet by Millie Marotta.

WHY WOODLANDS?

From woods to hedge banks, coastal valleys to orchards and fields, our trees are under threat and we need more of them in our landscape. From Hazel to Oak, Willow to Mountain Ash these trees provide homes, food, protection and connections for the wildlife around us. Trees also play a vital role is offsetting our carbon and the detrimental impact that we as humans have had on our precious landscape.

HOW WILL MY DONATION MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

• A donation of £5 could help pay for a new tree to be planted and help care for it.
• A donation of £16 could help pay for a metre of new hedgerow with protective fencing to create new homes for wildlife.
• A donation of £100 could help pay for 100m² of new woodland.

By supporting the Wild About Woodlands Appeal today, you’ll be helping to plant and protect an additional 1,000 trees across the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
