Keswick School of Industrial Art, Industrial arts school in Keswick, United Kingdom.

The educational facility next to river Greta featured ground floor workrooms and an upper level with a showroom and specialized library.

Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley and his wife Edith established the school in 1884 to provide employment opportunities through evening classes in woodwork and metalwork.

Students at the school specialized in copper and silver decorative metalwork, producing high-quality pieces that received national recognition and awards.

The Keswick Museum and Art Gallery maintains a collection of metalwork and artifacts created during the school's hundred years of operation.

The school building's facade displayed the message 'The loving eye and patient hand Shall work with joy and bless the land' until its closure in 1984.
