Folk Craft Revival

The Folk Craft Revival refers to a movement that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed at rediscovering and celebrating traditional crafts and handmade goods. It emerged as a response to industrialization and mass production, emphasizing the value of skill, artistry, and cultural heritage in crafts like pottery, weaving, and woodworking. This movement sought to promote artisan skills, preserve folk traditions, and encourage appreciation for handmade items. Today, it continues to influence contemporary craftspeople and designers, fostering a connection to the past while promoting sustainable and ethical practices in craft production.
