Qualifications:

Peggy Angus became best known for her industrial designs, tiles and wallpapers From 1933 onwards Peggy Angus rented a shepherd's cottage, Furlongs, near Beddingham at the foot of the South Downs, and made that a home to which a circle of artists of gathered. These included Eric Ravilious and John Piper. Ravilious considered that his time at Furlongs:...altered my whole outlook and way of painting, I think because the colour of the landscape was so lovely and the design so beautifully obvious ... that I simply had to abandon my tinted drawings.
