Arts & Crafts

Arts & crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things. These things typically are made with one’s own hands and skill. Despite great effort, the social elements of the Arts & Crafts movement were not financially feasible when in competition with mass manufacture, and the fact remains that many of the craftspeople producing for Morris and his contemporaries would not be able to afford the items they were making. To be clear, arts & crafts are NOT dead.
