Clemence and Laurence Housman set up the Suffrage Atelier in their back garden studio in Kensington. As an artist's cooperative, the Atelier made visual propaganda for the feminist cause and provided opportunities for women to gain artisinal skills and earn money for their work. The Atelier held lectures and classes on various subjects, and produced suffrage banners, posters, postcards, and the like. One of the most iconic of all suffrage banners, "From Prison to Citizenship," was designed by Laurence Housman and executed by Clemence Housman, who was a highly skilled textile artist in addition to being one of the period's leading facsimile engravers. The Atelier used images of the banner in their printed ephemera, such as postcards.
