This illustrated lecture by Doug Brown explains the theories behind the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and moves on to show the influence these theories had on British architects and their work. Some of these architects and their pupils had a significant influence on the architectural scene in Canada , especially on the west coast and in Ontario and Quebec . Although information on Canadian Arts and Crafts architecture is scanty, the lecture tries to cover most of those who have generally been described as Arts and Crafts.
