A Museum.

Albert museum private collection.

Born in the 1920s in London, Ron Hitchins moved to Hackney aged 13 and started a market stall on the infamous Ridley Road, He was known as ‘The Flash’ he was a colourful character in London’s East end. He started to design small terracotta necklaces with interesting abstract designs that he sold on his stall. From this a developed a career as an artist.
He also he also worked with fibreglass. His designs were often inspired by foreign design influences, notably Aztec. He made some large beautiful sculptural pieces, most of which hung all over his house, both inside and out. Although much loved as an artist, Hitchins was first and foremost known as an avid Flamenco dancer. He almost single-handedly introduced London to this form of dancing in the 1950s and 60s and until his death in 2019 he remained an active member of the Flamenco Dance scene. Claudine Roux, Andrew Tullis and Lucy Cash directed a short film about his life called ‘Made in Hackney’.
