Craft Revival
Craft Revival refers to a movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed at preserving traditional craftsmanship and promoting handmade goods. This movement arose as a response to the industrialization and mass production of items, which many believed led to a decline in quality and artistry. Artisans sought to revive techniques and styles from earlier periods, emphasizing the value of skilled labor and unique creations.
The Craft Revival influenced various art movements, including the Arts and Crafts Movement, which championed the idea that art should be accessible and integrated into everyday life. It also inspired the creation of organizations and fairs that celebrated handmade crafts, fostering a renewed appreciation for artisans and their work.
