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.  Most notably, The Were Wolf (1896), which she wrote with the intent of entertaining the fellow female wood-engraving students in her class at the Art School (Kooistra). In 2020, The City and Guilds South London Technical Art School functions as a non-profit institution and is credited as one of England’s longest-established art schools (The City and Guilds South London Technical Art School).
