Textiles play a very important role in achieving the Arts and Crafts aesthetic in decorating. They provide texture and much of the color in creating a friendly, comfortable, cheerful atmosphere. |
 Roycroft Tulip Pillow. Adapted from a design by Dard Hunter originally for the stained glass windows at the Roycroft Inn. Natural Flax Canvas, 100% Linen, hand stencilled and hand embroidered, 22" square, available with Periwinkle flower (as shown) or Russet flower. About $170, or as a kit for about $45. | We create textiles of the highest quality for those who appreciate and wish to decorate in the style. The techniques we use are those which were used at the turn-of-the-century: hand embroidery, applique and hand stenciling. |
 Pinecones are frequent motifs in Arts and Crafts design. These designs on pillows, linens and curtains are adapted from designs from Craftsman Workshops. CLICK TO SEE IN DETAIL. |
This web site illustrates a sampling of items we offer. Our catalog with color photographs, available for $8, offers a more extensive selection including information on the use of textiles in the Arts & Crafts home, information on custom design services, and fabric swatches. |
 The arrangement of crossing table scarves is very characteristic for an Arts & Crafts dining table. These Ginkgo Leaf motifs on the table scarves and curtains were originally offered by Gustav Stickley's Craftsman Workshops. We offer curtains and table runners custom to order in your choice of size and colors. |
