Artworks

The  office of the Minister for Education is furnished with a suite of furniture designed by Edward Barnsley and made in the workshop in 1960. It was made at the request of David Eccles who was the Minister for Education at the time for his Ministerial office. It was wonderful to see the suite of furniture in use especially given the fact it is over 50 years old.

All four of our apprentices were invited along as well as Stephen Rock, the craftsman-tutor, and James Ryan, the designer and manager. We also met Nick Boles, the Minister of State for Skills.
