Arthur and Georgie Gaskin were a husband-and-wife team. They worked independently as illustrators and in a loose collaboration as metalworkers. Their working lives were spent in Birmingham, an important centre of the Arts and Crafts movement, but in 1924 they retired to live in Chipping Campden, where they both continued working. Arthur died in 1928. Shortly afterwards, Georgie moved to Kent, where she died in 1934.
