Sydney Reeve

Sydney Reeve came from Bewdley in Worcestershire where he had been an art teacher. He joined the Guild of Handicraft in Chipping Campden in 1902 to work as a silversmith. In 1904 he left to teach at Leicester School of Art, and worked there for the next thirty years. When he retired he came back to Campden, and worked occasionally in the old Guild workshops. The Trust has a collection of about five hundred design drawings by Reeve and photographs of his work; this collection is not yet catalogued.
