Guild of Handicraft

The Guild of Handicraft was an organization founded in 1888 in the United Kingdom, aimed at promoting traditional craftsmanship and high-quality handmade goods. It was established by a group of artisans and designers committed to the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which emphasized the importance of creativity and skill in opposition to mass production.
