The Arts & Crafts Movement (1890 - 1929) started in Britain and within a few years found its way to the United States.
While the American Arts and Crafts Movement did share the philosophy of the reform movement and encouraged originality, simplicity of form, local natural materials, and the visibility of handicraft, it also accepted the use of factory work in the production of items which made it possible for middle income families to purchase and enjoy simple but elegant items.
The terms "Arts and Crafts", "Craftsman" and "Mission Style" have come to be used interchangeably, but there are differences.
I would love to share some artisans of today who create in the Style of the Arts and Crafts or Craftsman traditions :)
