The Arts and Crafts Ethic as a Template for the Future

We are embarking on a long-term project which significantly promotes the Arts and Crafts.

This project will delineate the origins of the ethic of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries in America, the British Isles and selected countries in Europe. It will explicate the manner in which the ethic was lived by members of the movement, famous and obscure. It will trace the revivals of this ethic into modern times, including the Wandervogel in pre-World War II Germany and the Back to Nature movement of the 1970s. It will show the strong underpinning of this Movement in various contemporary social and artistic  movements across the world.
For the contemporary research, the project will include a website featuring surveys, a blog, and forum for discussion in community.

The result will be a published book on the findings, inspiring and leading people into a new, sane, sustainable future.
