Scottish Arts and Crafts Movement

The Scottish Arts and Crafts Movement, occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was a design movement that emphasized craftsmanship, traditional techniques, and the beauty of handmade objects. It aimed to counter industrialization’s mass production by creating art, furniture, and architecture that reflected Scottish heritage and natural landscapes. The movement promoted high-quality, functional design that valued artistry and local materials, fostering a sense of national pride and cultural identity. It influenced architecture, decorative arts, and design, leaving a lasting impact on Scotland’s artistic and cultural landscape.
