Made In London

For centuries the label “Made in London” was synonymous with the very finest of manufacturing and design across a broad range of the decorative arts. From the famous silk weavers of Spitalfields to the precision clock and watching workshops of Clerkenwell, London based craftspeople gained a worldwide reputation in an amazing array of crafts.  

Using the immense collections of the V&A, as well as contributions from contemporary specialist craftspeople, designers and historians this short summer course will look in detail at the contribution of London artisans to the decorative arts, past and present.

The final week of this course will include special insights into the story of Cartier in London alongside our exhibition. Speakers will include the Head of Archives and Heritage Cartier UK.

To support your learning, lecture recordings and study materials, lecture notes, copies of the presentations, and additional study materials will be made available in our secure Microsoft Teams environment for 6 weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a thing. While you're there, you can join the conversation: share your perspective with your fellow students, and support each other in your further enquiries outside of class time.
