Title
Adelaide School of Arts, Annual Exhibition 1911 - Repousse Work (beaten from sheet metal)
Description

The Adelaide School of Arts was set up in 1909 when the SA Education Department took over the School of Design previously managed by the Board of Governors of the Public Library, Art Gallery and Museum. It continued in the same location, namely the Jubilee Exhibition Building on North Terrace. It was reorganised in 1916 as the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts. (Register, 1 July 1909, p5; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Australian_School_of_Design).

The School held an exhibition of work each year open to the public. GN02209-2219 show work in various categories including needlework, clay modelling, wood carving, and fibrous plaster ceiling displayed at the exhibition held in May 1911. That year there were 700 students and 200 staff (Register 25 May 1911, p60).

The 1911 exhibition was hailed in the Register as 'the best all round exposition yet held.' Its reporter described the work in a number of categories, in particular art and needlework, wood carving, china painting and metal work. (Register, 25 May 1911, p6)

This image shows picture frames, salvers and plaques made from beaten metal, probably copper. Master of repousse (metal work) and clay modelling at the School for many years was Robert M Craig. The same photograph appeared in a feature on the exhibition entitled Art in the Home in the Observer, 17 June 1911, p29, captioned 'Copper Work'.
