Originally published in 1916 when the Arts & Crafts movement was in its heyday, this is a virtual textbook of materials, color, techniques, and designs. Arts & Crafts Design is a practical guide to the creation of high-quality, high-style furnishings through the industrial arts. "In this relativistic age in which de gustilrie non disputandum est (it is undisputed that each person has their own sense of taste), it is refreshing to look back to the early twentieth century when at least a few people were certain that there are universal rules for good art and also that they had themselves mastered these precepts and could pass them on to a society that loved commonly held values. William H. Varnum was one of those people. He offers here a textbook that will, if followed, allow students to 'directly apply well-recognized principles of design to specific materials and problems.' No situation esthetics here. In fact, he followed these principles in designing the logos representing his tools and ratio system on the cover of his book. "The publisher of this new edition has added a useful foreword and substitued the title Arts and Crafts Design for the original (1916) Industrial Arts Design, an appropriate modification since the term "industrial" suggests factory production whereas Varnum referred to objects that today we call "Craftsman"--Rookwood pottery, Stickley furniture, Jarvie candlesticks, etc. A delightful touch is that Varnum included pictures of these objects alongside the principles by which he believed they were designed. Varnum's book offers an enlightening, if somewhat technical, insight into thinking about design before World War I. There is no doubt that the Arts and Crafts period during which the principles of simple beauty married so neatly with function can be better understood and appreciated today through Varnum's perceptions."

In "The Arts and Crafts Movement," T. J. Cobden-Sanderson presents a comprehensive examination of the aesthetic, cultural, and social ideals underpinning one of the most significant artistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Cobden-Sanderson deftly intertwines rich historical context with a passionate advocacy for the return to handcraftsmanship in a rapidly industrializing world. The book's literary style is marked by eloquence and a deep reverence for the craft, reflecting the movement'Äôs emphasis on beauty, functionality, and the ethical dimensions of art. Through a series of essays and critical analyses, the text explores key figures and their contributions, while also situating the movement within the broader tapestry of contemporary art and architecture. T. J. Cobden-Sanderson, a prominent figure within the Arts and Crafts Movement, was deeply influenced by his background as a bookbinder and his commitment to integrating art into everyday life. His establishment of the Doves Press showcased his dedication to creating beautiful, handcrafted objects that resisted the mechanization of art. Cobden-Sanderson's insights stem from his personal experiences, advocating for a synthesis of art and craftsmanship as a response to the alienation of industrial society. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in art history, design philosophy, or the interplay between society and aesthetics. Cobden-Sanderson'Äôs articulate advocacy for craftsmanship serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of beauty and integrity in every artistic endeavor. Readers will find inspiration in his vision of art as a means to cultivate a more meaningful and connected existence.

"Arts and Crafts Essays" represents a seminal compilation of writings by the members of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, encapsulating the ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This collection showcases an array of perspectives on design, craftsmanship, and the intersection of art with social values, all articulated through an engaging literary style marked by clarity and purpose. The essays interrogate the philosophy of creating as a means to counteract the dehumanizing effects of industrialization, emphasizing originality and hand-crafted techniques in various art forms, including textiles, ceramics, and architecture. The Arts and Crafts movement was a reaction against the rapid industrialization of Britain, with prominent figures such as William Morris leading the charge. The collective voice of the Society reflects the diverse talents of its members, encompassing artists, designers, and writers enthralled by the beauty of handcrafted objects. Their commitment to social reform and aesthetic harmony through art significantly influenced several generations and established a lasting legacy that transcends their time. "Arts and Crafts Essays" is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of modern design and the ongoing dialogue between art and society. It invites readers to appreciate the profound connections between aesthetic experience and ethical responsibility, making it a valuable resource not only for historians but for contemporary artisans and those who seek inspiration in the handmade.

This book presents exciting new research on one of the most popular, far-reaching and influential design movements of modern times. Lavishly illustrated, this is the first major global examination of the Arts and Crafts movement, including the US, Europe and - for the first time - Japan. The Arts and Crafts movement revolutionised attitudes to work and the home and laid the foundations for a radical shift in approach to design and lifestyle in the early twentieth century. From the pioneering example of William Morris and the writings of John Ruskin, to a new generation of architects, artists, designers and patrons, the movement championed a unity of the arts and was broadly defined by the common aims of social and industrial reform, the revival of handicrafts, a return to the simple life, and the improvement of art for everyday life. It was the first major art movement to focus on the decorative arts but it flung its net much wider, drawing architecture, garden design, photography and graphics into its orbit and changing the way we think about design. Leading scholars in the field explore the regional, national and international manifestations of Arts and Crafts, looking at the work of many leading designers - including Walter Crane, C.F.A. Voysey, M.H. Baillie Scott, C.R. Mackintosh Jensen, Gustav Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright in Europe and America and Hamada Shoji and Bernard Leach in Japan. Lavishly illustrated and extensively researched, this book is a major contribution to a wider understanding of Arts and Crafts and an invaluable visual record of an ever-popular era of design.
