Christine Poulson (ED) William Morris on Art for Design. (Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1996)
THE REVIVAL OF HANDICRAFT
In this reading, Morris mourns the loss of handicraft to the age of modernism and machine produced products. He also makes points about the loss of job satisfaction which comes with this industrialisation.
I think Morris is basically saying that we all become unhappy with things we first saw as development and we will wish for things to return to how they used to be. we always want what we haven’t got.
