An authoritative and insightful study, surveying the life and work
of "the greatest of the English artist-craftsmen" This study of the
renowned designer-maker Ernest Gimson (1864-1919) combines
biography with analysis of his work as an architect and designer of
furniture, metalwork, plaster decoration, embroidery, and more. It
also examines Gimson's significance within the Arts and Crafts
Movement, tracing the full arc of his creative career, ideas, and
legacy. Gimson worked in London in the 1880s, joining the circle
around William Morris at the Art Workers' Guild and the Society for
the Protection of Ancient Buildings. He later moved to the
Cotswolds, where he opened workshops and established a reputation
for distinctive style and superb quality. Gimson's work influences
designers today and speaks directly to ongoing debates about the
role of craft in the modern world; this book will be the standard
reference for years to come.
