"The art or work-pleasure, as one ought to call it…sprung up almost spontaneously, it seems, from a kind of instinct amongst people, no longer driven desperately to painful and terrible over-work, to do the best they could with the work in hand – to make it excellent of its kind; and… a craving for beauty seemed to awaken in men’s minds.”
William Morris, News from Nowhere, 1891
The development of this project was inspired by my admiration for the arts of William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement.
