First published in 1939, Made in England is a book about the crafts
and people of the cottage industries of England, from the social
historian, illustrator and photographer Dorothy Hartley. In the mid
1930s Hartley travelled by car and bicycle, gathering material for
the book. This is a portrait not only of the rural industries -
whether wood-carving or stone-work, weaving or pottery, but also of
the people engaged in these occupations. Written in direct prose
and with innate curiosity, each chapter covers a specific skill,and
is illustrated with Hartley's own photographs and charming,
accurate pen and ink drawings. As these traditional skills became
less widespread, our own connection to the land and ancient
knowledge is threatened. The republication of this book is aimed at
restoring some of those lost links, and reviving interest in craft
and making by hand.
