A series of five, free online monthly readings and discussions, between January and May 2024. Following our two previous winter series, focused on Ruskin’s writing on Venice and on Craft & Craftsmanship, and as 2024 begins with conflict and injustice in too many parts of the world, we turn our attention to the four essays in Ruskin’s seminal work on political economy, Unto This Last, published in 1862.

Another themed discussion event presented by the Guild online, in which three Companions take a personal look at a topic through a Ruskinian lens. This event focuses on pollution, and Chris Baines, David Barrie & Michelle Lovric, who between them have a vast range of interests and expertise , will each spend 10 minutes offering their own perspective on an aspect of pollution - human impact on our water and light in particular - that concerns them and about which they invite people to become more aware and perhaps more involved. It will be followed by discussion between them and audience questions. All are welcome. The zoom room will be opened at 5.15pm, ready for a punctual start at 5.30pm. We plan to record the event for our digital web archive. [...] Pollution: three personal Ruskinian perspectives for the C21st 18th October 2021 Online
