Art Workers in the Evening Standard

An article written by Katrina Burroughs for the Evening Standard appeared on the Homes and Property section on 11th March. Titled: 'The modern masters of craft', she goes on to say "You can find some of our finest craftspeople through The Art Workers Guild."

HIDDEN away, in a little known square in London, is an ancient company of craftspeople, called The Art Workers Guild, who hand-make unique architectural features such as carvings and furniture.

Founded in the late 19th century by Arts and Crafts luminaries, including designers Walter Crane and Lewis F Day, it celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. The guild nurtures some of our finest creative skills and encourages the makers of hand-crafted, unique designs. To help spread the word about this very British institution and enable the general public to discover ways to buy quality handcrafted goods the guild has plunged into the 21st century with its own, very attractive, website at www.artworkers guild.org. This now allows the guild to share its secrets with the general public and enables you to commission unique goods: from blacksmiths to quiltmakers, who will design something for you at affordable prices.
