Bath Arts Workshop

The Bath Arts Workshop was created just as the swinging 60s gave way to the turbulent 70s. A unique counterculture that sprang up in the city, it was a spectacular flowering of creative activity, community technology and social enterprise. The authors tell the story, from its birth in a Georgian basement in 1969, to the end of the next decade. The book takes the reader behind the scenes of an organisation that had a significant impact at the time, describing how it worked, the extraordinary range and scale of its activities, and how many of its ideas still resonate today.
