A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Their institution by the Carpenters Company and their publication aim to stimulate the ambition of craftsmen towards a high ideal of attainment. It may also be hoped that they will encourage a belief in others as to the possibilities of modern craftsmanship. The arts which go to the creation of beautiful buildings should occupy the hands and thoughts of thousands if properly encouraged by the public, and would, if rightly directed, do much to add to the vitality and interest of modern architecture. Beautiful brickwork, plaster, woodwork, and metalwork ought to be within the reach of thousands who have now to be content with characterless, commonplace, mechanical productions. I f, in the first place, we can secure honest, simple, and expressive work, directed by good design, we may surely hope the public will respond by encouraging a demand for it. The gentlemen who have given these lectures by request of the Carpenters Company are amongst those prominently known for their study of practical craftsmanship and the right use of materials in building. They are earnest in their desire to see a revival of the best traditions of craftsmanship from past times, and have endeavoured to impart some of their enthusiasm both by precept and example. They would not have us believe that either design or craftsmanship is in itself sufficient for good results, but insist that the designer and the craftsman must work in unity of belief as to the right and appropriate use of materials.
