Arts and Crafts movement

Categories: Craft / Design

This design and construction movement began in Britain around 1880 and quickly spread across America and Europe. Taking its name from the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, it stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms of decoration, and advocated economic and social reform. William Morris was one of its main influences.
