Volunteer coach trip: The Watts Gallery

Watts Gallery was founded in 1904 by visionary couple George Frederic Watts and Mary Seton Watts.
George Watts was one of the foremost artists of the 19th century and became known as 'England's Michelangelo' for his powerful works and portraits. Mary, a visionary designer and artist, founded the Potters' Arts Guild at Compton, a progressive business with the aim to promote traditional craft practices and create jobs for the local community.
