Arts and Crafts, 2 Park Row, Nottingham and 40 The Strand, Derby.
The opening of this Salon two years ago was a novel experiment to introduce to Nottinghamshire lovers of beauty, artistic and beautiful things for use or ornament made entirely by hand and expressive of individuality and taste.
It was felt that there were many residents in the City who would appreciate objects made by ingenious brains and skilful fingers, especially when they were the result of local talent, and this idea of the founders has been justified.
The work displayed in the Salon is of every description, and shows an astonishing range of originality, taste, and aptitude. It includes hand-tooled leather, beaten silver, copper and brass, jewellery, basketry, hand-woven fabrics, drawnthread work, pottery, table linen, wood-work, barbola and batik art, hand-painted lampshades, mural decorations and hand-made toys.
Most of the handicraft workers are girls and women, and the objects displayed come from all districts of England; also from Scotland, Ireland and abroad. Some of the work is done for the mere love of it, some as a source of pin-money, and some to eke out slender means. In many cases there is an element of pathos in the production, which differentiates these activities from ordinary commercial undertakings. Prices range from a few pence to seventy guineas, and where special wants cannot be supplied from stock, orders may be placed for articles to harmonise with special schemes of decoration and to suit the purse of an intending purchaser.
