SUMMARY:Cinders in the Dripping Pan - Cooking in the Georgian Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:  \nPeter Ross\nDiscover the fascinating world of Georgian culinary history with ‘Cinders in the Dripping Pan: Cooking in the Georgian Kitchen’\, a captivating lecture by Peter Ross presented by The Arts Society SW London at The Community Church\, Werter Road\, Putney on Monday\, 8 December 2025 at 8 pm. \nThis engaging presentation explores the trials and tribulations of cooking in a bygone age\, when kitchens were equipped with immense coal-fired ranges that demanded multitudes of tasks without the convenience of electricity or gas\, and certainly no mechanical aids. Peter Ross brings the Georgian kitchen vividly to life\, revealing how cooks of the era used an extraordinary array of tools\, moulds\, boards and pots to prepare elaborate meals and create remarkably diverse menus. \nAs the festive season approaches\, this timely lecture considers how Georgian kitchens managed to produce complete meals from a single heat source. Attendees will discover the ingenious methods used to roast meat on spits\, bake bread in brick ovens\, and prepare multiple dishes simultaneously using the heat zones of massive kitchen ranges. The presentation examines authentic Georgian cooking techniques\, from the art of spit-roasting to the preparation of puddings in cloth bags suspended over boiling water. \nPeter Ross brings exceptional qualifications to this subject\, combining a History of Art degree and an MA in London history with a PhD in the cultural history of an English Criminal. Until recently\, he served as Principal Librarian at Guildhall Library\, where he specialized in the social and cultural history of London. His expertise extends beyond academia – as a qualified teacher with experience in both TV and radio\, Ross has appeared on numerous programs for the British Library. His current book project\, ‘Eating Georgian London’\, is being published by Peter’s Cookbook\, demonstrating his deep commitment to understanding and sharing the culinary heritage of the Georgian era. \nThe lecture explores not just the practical aspects of Georgian cooking but also the social and cultural context of food preparation. Learn about the hierarchy of kitchen staff\, from the head cook who orchestrated complex meals to the scullery maids who maintained the fires and cleaned the endless array of copper pots and iron implements. Discover how seasonal availability shaped menus\, how preservation techniques allowed for year-round variety\, and how the growing British Empire influenced ingredients and recipes. \nRoss’s presentation will illuminate the stark contrasts between Georgian and modern cooking\, highlighting both the ingenuity required to overcome limitations and the surprising sophistication achieved despite them. From understanding how ice houses provided refrigeration to learning about the elaborate table settings and service styles of Georgian dining\, this lecture offers comprehensive insights into a pivotal period in British culinary history. \nThe event takes place at The Community Church on Werter Road\, conveniently located in the heart of Putney (SW15 2LL). The venue opens to non-members at 7:45 pm\, following the Members’ Christmas Party\, with the lecture commencing at 8 pm. This timing allows non-members to arrive and settle before the presentation begins. \nAdmission is free for members of The Arts Society SW London\, while non-members can attend for a modest fee of £10 at the door. For those unable to attend in person\, an online viewing option is available for just £5\, allowing remote participation in this educational experience. More information about the society and its program of events can be found at www.theartssocietyswlondon.org.uk or by scanning the QR code provided on promotional materials. \nThis lecture promises to be both educational and entertaining\, offering a perfect blend of historical scholarship and practical insights into Georgian life. Whether you’re a history enthusiast\, a culinary aficionado\, or simply curious about how our ancestors lived and ate\, this presentation provides a unique window into the kitchens and dining rooms of Georgian England.

SUMMARY:Stripped Naked - The Nude in Art History
DESCRIPTION:Stella Lyons\nJoin The Arts Society SW London for an illuminating study day exploring ‘Stripped Naked – The Nude in Art History’ with renowned art historian and lecturer Stella Grace Lyons at the Putney Arts Theatre on Monday\, 24 November 2025. \nThis comprehensive exploration of the nude in art history examines how the human body has served as both the epitome of beauty and a subject of censorship and controversy throughout the ages. Through three engaging lectures\, participants will discover how images of the nude reflect the social attitudes of the time and gain insights into the complex questions about changing relationships with the human body. \nThe study day features three fascinating lectures: \n10:30 to 11:30 – Lecture 1: ‘Introducing the Nude’\nBegin your journey with an introduction to the fundamental concepts and historical context of the nude in art. This opening lecture establishes the foundation for understanding how artists have approached the human form across different periods and cultures. \n12:00 to 13:00 – Lecture 2: ‘The Shock of the Nude’\nFollowing a refreshment break\, explore the controversial aspects of nude representation in art. Discover how certain depictions challenged societal norms and sparked debates about morality\, censorship\, and artistic freedom. Please note this lecture will help you understand your own sensibilities around nudity in art. \n13:45 to 14:45 – Lecture 3: ‘The Censored Nude’\nThe final lecture examines instances of censorship and suppression in art history\, revealing how political\, religious\, and social forces have attempted to control the representation of the human body. Learn about famous cases of artistic censorship and their lasting impact on cultural discourse. \nStella Grace Lyons brings exceptional expertise to this subject. As an accredited Art History lecturer\, speaker\, and writer with The Arts Society\, she has spent over a year studying Renaissance art in Florence\, followed by three months exploring Venetian art in Venice. Her extensive experience includes attending classes at the prestigious Charles H. Cecil studios in Florence\, providing her with unique insights into both the creation and interpretation of classical art. \nThe event takes place at the historic Putney Arts Theatre on Ravenna Road\, with doors opening at 10:00 for a 10:30 start. The venue provides a comfortable and intimate setting for this educational experience\, with breaks scheduled between lectures for refreshments and discussion. \nTickets are priced at £38 (plus a 50p booking fee) and can be purchased through TicketSource. Please note that access to the venue is restricted to adults only (over 18 years)\, recognising the mature content of the subject matter.

SUMMARY:Sculpture in Britain Today and Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:British sculpture enjoyed a renaissance in the 20th century\, led by Moore and Hepworth. They were followed by a new generation of British-based sculptors including Rachel Whiteread\, Antony Gormley\, Maggi Hambling\, Anish Kapoor\, Richard Long and David Nash\, who have produced sculptures that are glorious\, challenging and moving in equal measure. \nA range of their work is examined along with a review of the sculptures that have adorned the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square\, and those proposed for 2026-28. The lecture concludes with a glimpse of the rising stars. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to book this event:\n\n\n\n\nThis will be a hybrid lecture. Members of TAS SW London can attend free of charge but non-members will be asked for a £10 fee at the door. To watch the lecture live online\, please email theartssocietyswlondon@gmail.com for a link. There is a charge of £5 for non-members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE ARTS SOCIETY ACCREDITED LECTURER\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMr Raymond Warburton\n\n\nRay has had a life-long love of art. However\, in his twenties\, Ray studied social sciences at the London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies. These studies led to a career in health and social care\, with art being an evening and weekend passion. But all that changed in 2011\, when Ray became a guide at Tate Britain and Tate Modern. Then from 2014 to 2017\, he studied art history at the Open University\, and then at the University of Buckingham\, from where he gained an MA in the History of Art. And to cap it all\, Ray became an Arts Society lecturer in 2017. Ray also knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of lectures as he is a member of his local Arts Society in Blackheath. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGALLERY
