Description
Dorothy Hartley's Made in England is a portrait of rural industries and the people who practice them. In the mid 1930s, Hartley travelled across England by car and bicycle, gathering material for this book. She documents traditional skills such as wood-working, stonework, weaving, pottery, and more, accompanied by her own photographs and drawings. These chapters offer a glimpse into a way of life that is becoming increasingly rare, as traditional crafts are no longer widely practiced. The book serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our connection to ancient knowledge and the land. Reproduced with an introduction from architect and artist Fran Edgely, this edition aims to revive interest in craft and making by hand.
