I couldn't be happier that we reached this outcome :)
We are proud custodians with @townergallery of a selection of rare woodblocks by Eric Ravilious and Tirzah Garwood. Believed lost since the 1950s, the blocks were recovered through the initiative of members of the artists’ family and @artlossregister, with the support of @artfund

@FryArtGallery @Ravilious2 It’s a marvellous show. A very different context for the work of these artists and a wonderful complement to the Dulwich exhibition of Tirzah Garwood’s work. And it’s FREE!

I was at the Fry Gallery in Saffron Walden for the opening of two great new shows there: one on Great Bardfield muralists (Ravilious, Bawden, Rowntree etc) & the other on Great Bardfield at Home (enviable wallpapers, interior scenes etc). Visit if you can as both are delightful!
