The Arts and Crafts Movement
Before the age of machines in the 18th and 19th centuries, everything was handmade. But mass production changed all that – something English poet William Morris found dehumanizing. Morris was founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the Victorian age. He was best known for the natural themes of his wallpaper, tapestries and vases, which he believed should be handmade by skilled craftspeople. As this CBC documentary explains, Morris brought a socialist philosophy to design.

Wow, that's an old piece - I'd forgotten what Wendy Mesley looked like with longer hair!  But even though it's 15 years old, it's still relevant and interesting.

(Heh, you only had to say CBC and I was there.  I'm a CBC junkie.)
