We are not the first to confront these questions. More than a century ago, sickened by the factories and slums that mechanical looms had built, John Ruskin and William Morris looked back, reaching past the Spitalfields weaver to something older: the medieval artisan.

Their skill nostalgia became radical. Could ours do the same?"
