This presentation discusses the principles of handicraft. It defines craftsmanship as work done by intelligent individuals who exercise design and manual skills. True craftsmen take pride in creating well-designed, beautiful, and useful objects. They believe in cooperation between designers and workers to continuously improve skills and raise standards of quality and design. The goal is to train competent craftsmen and develop their character through artistic work that benefits society.

beautiful work…”

4. “The unit of labor should be an
intelligent man…”
• The conditions of true Handicraft are
natural aptitude, through technical
standards. The unit of labor should be an
intelligent man, whose ability is used as
a whole, and not subdivided for
commercial purposes. He should
exercise the faculty of design in
connection with manual work, and
manual work should be part of his
training design.

5. “they should work together…”
• When the designer and the
workman are not united in
the same person, they
should work together, each
teaching the other his own
special knowledge, so that
the faculties of the
designers and the workman
may tend to become united
in each.
