Excerpt from Craftsman Fabrics and Needlework From the Craftsman Workshops
This experiment has already been tried in several European countries, - and with a goodly measure of success. We have For some months presented in a series of editorial articles the reasons why it should be perfectly practicable in this country, and in coming issues of The Craftsman we purpose to show in detail, the result of personal investigation into what has been done along these lines in other countries and what could be done under the conditions that prevail in our own.
In addition to this advocacy of handicrafts allied with agriculture, The Craftsman takes the keenest interest in discovering and presenting to its readers all that is vital in every form of art that is an honest record of our character and our times; in recording every step in the development of a vigorous national style in architecture that shall be an expression of our own need and characteristics, and of noting all achievement as well as sincere experiment along practical lines in the direction of improved social and industrial conditions.
On its practical side The Craftsman maintains a department for the purpose of giving suggestion and definite instruction to those interested in various forms of handicrafts and in the planning, building and furnishing of houses. It may be of definite help to you. Why not send for a sample copy and see what you think of it?
