The City and Guilds South London Technical Art School, formerly the Lambeth School of Art, was established in 1854 as a government specialized arts and crafts college located in central London, England. Clemence Housman (1861-1955) attended the school as a student of wood-engraving and lived nearby in Kennington with her brother Laurence Housman (1865-1959), who was also studying art at the time (Khan). Clemence Housman’s classes at the South London Art School greatly influenced her works.
