Book excerpt: Excerpt from Craftsman Fabrics and Needlework From the Craftsman Workshops Considering the wall surface purely in the light of a background, the next best treatment for obtaining a good effect is to cover it with canvas or burlap, which gives an admirably soft, deep atmosphere of color. But in many cases this treatment is considered unsanitary, as once upon the walls the fabric can never be thoroughly cleaned. A good substitute is the prepared fabric known as Fabrikona, which usually has the tex ture of burlap, but which also comes in a very broad, loose weave almost like basket-work. The back of this is so prepared that it can be applied directly to the wall like paper, and the surface also is prepared so that it can be freshened at any time with a coat of wax. For a room where it is desirable to produce lighter and daintier effects than are usually sought in the living rooms of the house, a charming wall covering is Japanese grass cloth, which comes in beautiful colors and is very interesting in texture, the woven straw of which it is made catching little'broken lights which form a silvery sheen over the whole surface. Wall papers, if rough in texture, dull in finish and good in color, are always desirable; but we have found so far very few that have not the fault either of too smooth a surface or of too solid a color. Either of these defects renders the paper lifeless, and makes impossible the apparent radiation of color which has so much to do with the atmosphere. S for the colors that may be used with the as surance that they will prove permanently satis fying, their range is almost endless, but everythingdepends upon the right combination and the pres ervation of the right relations between the soft, dull, sympathetic hues that belong naturally to the background and the more decided colors that serve to give accent and character to the whole scheme. Our experience has shown that it is impossible to go very far wrong with a color scheme such as Nature herself would use, - the varying tones of green, deep red, russet and yellow of foliage, the soft wood browns with all their wide variation of modifying tones, the dim, rich colors found in rocks, and the gray-greens, yellow-greens and deep blues of the ocean. If a sharp accent is felt to be necessary here and there, it can easily be given by a brilliant dash of color that, if rightly used, will seem as much in place as a flower on a grass plot. The liberty of choice is wide, but like all liberty, it carries with it responsibility in the necessity for most careful thought and sensitive perception that the colors may be used and combined so that there is neither monotony nor discord.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Craftsman Fabrics and Needlework From the Craftsman Workshops This experiment has already been tried in several European countries, - and with a goodly measure of success. We have For some months presented in a series of editorial articles the reasons why it should be perfectly practicable in this country, and in coming issues of The Craftsman we purpose to show in detail, the result of personal investigation into what has been done along these lines in other countries and what could be done under the conditions that prevail in our own. In addition to this advocacy of handicrafts allied with agriculture, The Craftsman takes the keenest interest in discovering and presenting to its readers all that is vital in every form of art that is an honest record of our character and our times; in recording every step in the development of a vigorous national style in architecture that shall be an expression of our own need and characteristics, and of noting all achievement as well as sincere experiment along practical lines in the direction of improved social and industrial conditions. On its practical side The Craftsman maintains a department for the purpose of giving suggestion and definite instruction to those interested in various forms of handicrafts and in the planning, building and furnishing of houses. It may be of definite help to you. Why not send for a sample copy and see what you think of it? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rugs used in Craftsman interiors are, arguably, the most under-studied of all the decorative arts of the Arts and Crafts movement. These rugs were at once useful and beautiful, and they added subdued color, rugged texture, and understated pattern to the rooms they graced, playing a fundamental role in the visual harmony of the Craftsman domestic interior. Though Stickley was primarily a furniture maker and a publisher and did not manufacture rugs, he did choose them, and his choices completed the elegant simplicity of the Craftsman house. He often considered the art of rug making in The Craftsman, and he also used the magazine to advertise the affordable, well-designed rugs that he sold in his retail stores and mail-order catalogs for at least thirteen years." "Arts and Crafts Rugs for Craftsman Interiors considers both the rugs that The Craftsman recommended and designs by artists who influenced the work and philosophy of Stickley. Among the rugs discussed are works by British Arts and Crafts luminaries William Morris, Gavin Morton, C. F. A. Voysey, and Evelyn Gleeson; druggets imported from India; Navajo blankets and rugs; and rare Crex and Abnakee examples. Presenting an engaging study of an overlooked aspect of the Arts and Crafts movement, this essential publication includes more than 125 color and black-and-white illustrations, many of them featuring rugs drawn primarily from the collection of Crab Tree Farm." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: A Complex Fate chronicles Stickley's life and career - a career marked by the same contradictions that characterized America's transition from a largely rural society to a modern, technological one. He regarded himself as a modern, yet espoused a philosophy that celebrated simplicity, community, and skilled manual work. His furniture itself, at first glance simple, stark, and hand-built, was nevertheless mass-produced and regarded as thoroughly modern by a public eager to buy it. In this, the first full-length profile of Stickley, we follow his rise to staggering wealth, wide popularity, and enormous influence on the design of furniture, pottery, metalwork, jewelry, bookbinding, leatherwork and architecture.
