Yes I agree; the latter day movement of crafting and rediscovering the old skills of knitting etc. espouses some similar views to the Peasants though perhaps less extreme. <br /><br />A friend has suggested I should write a book setting out how to apply the Peasant Arts beliefs to the present day. Hmm maybe!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199594054597664825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198332407186068564.post-45975808536180202452011-10-27T05:58:34.666-07:002011-10-27T05:58:34.666-07:00How interesting that Dolly Diamond`s has such a si...How interesting that Dolly Diamond`s has such a similar ethos to the Peasant Artists. I`m sure that the Blounts would have approved! I also feel that they would have approved of the revived interest in home crafting . <br /><br />From Kath Kidston and Kirstie Alsop to the "Knit and Stitch" groups that are popping up in all our communities. Maybe they are partly a modern reaction to our over-mechanised, mass production society and a way that people can be creative and express their individuality? Does the buying and wearing vintage clothing satisfy the same sort of nostalgia for good quality, hand produced clothing? I`m sure it is not just about fashion.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.com
