• Guild.com: 21st-Century Arts & Crafts

  Building on the Arts & Craft movement of an earlier time, Guild.com is a treasure trove of current artists working in metalwork, ceramics, printmaking, painting, fiber, glass, wood, lighting, furniture and tableware.

  The Arts & Crafts masters of yesteryear would have enthusiastically approved of The Guild’s Philosophy: In a nutshell, we believe that when you live with art that you love, and it’s made by a gifted artist with skill and care, it adds something rich and sweet to your life, every day.

• 21st-Century Arts & Crafts

  When the philosopher-designers of the Arts & Crafts movement pushed design, usability and simplicity to the forefront, they tossed out the traditional standards of Victorian taste: outrageous cost and over-decoration. They felt that the best design [was] one which should become commonplace … whether it was a piece of furniture or a spoon. And that great design should be within the reach of the common man.

  Hewn and Hammered will be searching out the Arts & Crafts designers of this decade … craftspeople who reach back to nature for their inspiration and who are on their way to becoming the Stickleys, Gruebys and Roycrofters of their generation.

  So, stay tuned in to Hewn & Hammered for our showcase of Arts & Crafts of the 21st Century. We’ll begin our tour with this unique 21st Century Arts & Crafts retreat in Scotland…
