Eric Gill: The Garden Rollers

For the first year of our annual programme of major Eric Gill sculptural loans, visitors will be confronted by two domestic objects transformed from utility to beauty. Displayed together for the first time, Gill’s two garden rollers demonstrate his importance both as a sculptor and as an exquisite letter cutter. The rollers also reflect the two communities in which he lived one was carved for the weaver Ethel Mairet’s home in Ditchling, while the other was cut to Gill’s design by David Kindersley for Gill’s home in Buckinghamshire.
