Part of Ruskin in Sheffield 2016: Make Good Livelihoods, initiated by the Guild of St George.

“Beautiful art can only be produced by people who have beautiful things about them, and leisure to look at them; and unless you provide some elements of beauty for your workmen to be surrounded by, you will find that no elements of beauty can be invented by them.”
— John Ruskin
