This beautifully illustrated book examines the impact of the Arts and Crafts movement in Manchester and the overlooked history of the Northern Art Workers’ Guild from its formation in 1896 through its demise in 1912.
Unlike the London-based Art Workers’ Guild, it had active women members throughout.
This book tells the history of a northern craft revival that was neither rural, nor London-focussed, but an essential component of the Arts and Crafts movement located in the heart of industrial England.
The authors also examine the legacy of the Guild, in the later work of the Red Rose Guild of Artworkers and the lesser-known Manchester branch of the Design and Industries Association.
