Gloria and Graham Gavert

A bicycle ride out to Grantchester by the young Graham Gavert, then at school in Cambridge, was
the start of a friendship that lasted many decades. Gloria and Graham were even able to persuade
Joan to make her first, and only, trip to the United States.
Mark Rowden

The designer Mark Rowden attended a number of the painting classes that Joan organized, on
Thursday afternoons in Grantchester. He has kindly shared some of his memories and
photographs that he took of the studio.
