• 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.

  Auctions have come a long way in the last few years.

The online portion of the auction is presented using technology from icollector.com and will occur live on Ebay. Over 1000 lots of furniture, artwork and other decorative items will be sold, and you can preview the lots online. As at any Treadway & Toomey auction, there are some really gorgeous items up for sale.

• Arts & Crafts jewelry design today

  A number of talented contemporary jewelry artists continue to produce interesting original work (and faithful reproductions) in the Arts & Crafts style. Among them are the designers of Dard Hunter Studios, whose strongly deco-inspired work reflects quite well upon thier namesake. The folks at Craftsman Home carry several lines of Craftsman-inspired silver and copper jewelry, including a few Roycroft pieces, and Ron Van Ostrand, a juried Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan, sells his own work via Ebay.
