I've been greatly inspired lately by my research on the style of furniture and design known as Arts and Crafts in England and Craftsman here in the US! I had this style in mind when I embroidered this recent bread cloth and I'm currently working on an applique and embroidery table cloth that I drew on the Craftsman style for. And you'll be seeing more! So I thought everyone might want to know a little more about it .... William Morris The Industrial Revolution in the 1800's brought a big change to the design of household goods available to the general population. Now, items could be mass produced and sold more cheaply. Sounds good, but there's always a downside, isn't there ... Artists and designers were not happy with the lack of artistic quality that went into the now available designs, craftsmen weren't happy with the lower quality of the goods and with how they couldn't compete with the low prices. Workshops began closing their doors, the countryside lost out to the cities as manufacturing of goods became centralized, and many lost their livelihoods. In England, artists, designers, craftsmen, and social reformers came together under what became known as the Arts and Crafts Movement to try and bring about changes. Workshops based on the old medieval guilds were formed, classes were taught (especially in the countryside), and outlets were developed for the sale of these handcrafted, more thoughtfully designed goods. Artist and textile designer William Morris was one of the leading figures of this movement in England. William Morris, Woodpecker Tapestry, 1885, wool on cotton linng William Morris, Bird and Vine Wallpaper Gustav Stickley When the movement reached the United States, it became known as the Craftsman movement and designer Gustav Stickley became one of the driving forces. Through his monthly magazine, The Craftsman, the principles and styles reached across the country. Although there were no "rules", there were common themes and aesthetics that drove these styles. Objects were simple in form, well made, and you could often see how they were constructed. The quality of materials was high and the workmanship very fine. Plants, animals, birds - nature in general were common themes whether the materials were fibers, wood, pottery, glass, metals, .... Katharine Lord. Lace fan mount. 1910.
