Guiding Spirit: The Legend of Irene Sargeant
by Kate Nixon As a person who published an 88-page catalog continuing a now 36-year tradition, I’ll be the first to tell you: it is a venture of increasing difficulty and not for the faint of heart. The catalog has remained an annual passion project and that’s where it continues to stand, deepening my unabiding respect and setting the foundation for my own policies in making room in my life for collecting AND creating within this continuing movement. I’m not even waxing poetic when I say passion project because the truth is it takes someone with passion to get …

See How-To VideosKnow Your Shopmarks
We are currently in the process of collecting, organizing, identifying and displaying on this website as many Arts & Crafts shopmarks as possible. And like our Reference Library, we need your help. While we have documented the shopmarks of the major Arts & Crafts firms, we need for you to email us a photograph of any shopmarks you have from lesser known firms, along with a brief description of the piece.
Books Worth Reading
As both a collector and a researcher, I have often wished there was one site where every book ever written on the Arts & Crafts movement was listed. Now that place exists. Together we can compile on this website a list of every book of interest to Arts & Crafts collectors. All you have to do is pull some of the books off your bookshelf (go for the less obvious ones – and check below for duplicate entries) and email me the title, author, publisher and most recent copyright date. I will sort them by category and list them here so that anytime you or anyone else wants to research anything relating to the Arts & Crafts movement, you will start your search here.
