The Legacy of Keith Critchlow is now known as KCC
Th Keith Critchlow Collection
KCL studio & Library space has now been renamed Keith Critchlow Collection and is a family run CIC by Keith’s 4 children. It is housed at The Abbey, The Green, Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire OX14 4AF.
The Keith Critchlow Collection Studio space holds original art-works, books, instruments, notebooks, artefacts and more from Keith's own studio space in London; a Company formed in the wake of Keith passing.
The items, books and artefacts you can experience were the legacy from Keith’s original Garden Studion in London where he worked during his lifetime.
The new KCC Library & Studio Space intends to run events which we will keep you posted on. Please bear with us as we update the new space, database and email address.

“The higher purpose of geometry is to participate body, soul and spirit in the objective universal laws that govern and cohere our universe. This activity can lead us directly to the centre of our own understanding which unifies us with the whole.”
Keith Critchlow passed away on April 8th 2020. He left behind an immense legacy of work. Not only in the form of published books, lives he touched (those he taught and worked with), buildings with his design and architectural input, but also his own personal studio of works including, written, painted and drawn works, personal notebooks and sketchbooks, artefacts, and so much more. This studio was re-homed by his daughters in South West London and has now been relocated to Emerson College in Forest Row. A place now dedicated to sorting, archiving and keeping his legacy alive in the form of in-person workshops, publications, and an online presence and resource dedicated to keeping the spirit of his work and teachings alive for others.
