Today is the 204th birthday of John Ruskin, who founded the Guild & whose ideas & ideals inspire our work today. Our logo, taken from Ruskin's copy of Carpaccio's St George, symbolises the challenge then & now: how might we tame the dragon of unfettered industrial capitalism?
3 weeks tonight! Join us on Dec 10th for the first of our four free reading events online, VOICES FROM VENICE, showcasing some of John Ruskin's writing about Venice. Reserve places here: https://t.co/qtoBdQodRg @VeniceinPeril @NoGrandiNaviVe @IstitutoVeneto #Venice #JohnRuskin

Wishing everyone a very happy & festive Christmas time. At the end of this #Ruskin200 year, as we reflect on our divided politics & competing visions of economic, ecological & cultural good health, let us remember Ruskin's necessary & timely words: 'There is no wealth but life'.
