What is the arts and crafts movement?

Arts and crafts movement is an artistic movement. Artists combine hand-made technology with artistic aesthetics to create practical and decorative objects. The arts and crafts movement originated in Germany at the end of 19 and developed rapidly at the beginning of the 20th century.

The arts and crafts movement emphasizes the fine craftsmanship and careful design by hand, and its purpose is to create articles with high quality and artistic value. This movement includes many fields, such as carpentry, glass making, ceramics, copper casting, silverware and textile manufacturing.

Inspired by artistic neoclassicism, eclecticism and artistic modernism, the arts and crafts movement has had a far-reaching impact on modern industrial design.
