Charles Fergus Binns Potter's Craft

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. What then, are not manufactured products as now put forth a menace to the art life of the nation? Are not the people being educated in the use of and be lief in machine-made ornament and meretricious dis play? Perhaps so, but no good purpose will be served by a ruthless condemnation of these things. Art ap preciation is a most subtle thing and no one may dictate to his neighbor as to what he should or should not admire. It took time for the public to understand and patronize the product of the machine even though the price was favorable. It will take time for an appreciation of craftsmanship to influence the land but this consummation will most assuredly come.
