2025 Educational Seminars
For as long as there have been pegged joints and matte green glazes, there have been educational seminars designed for Arts and Crafts collectors.
Early Arts and Crafts societies in cities such as Boston, Chicago, and New York gathered to hear speakers reveal the evils of the Industrial Revolution and applaud the virtues of the simple life, one lived among handcrafted furnishings which William Morris described as those “you know to be useful and believe to be beautiful.”
