Head, Hand and Heart 2024 John Ruskin believed that the move from hand crafted objects to machine made mass-produced goods during the industrial revolution was detrimental to workers, physically, mentally and emotionally. He thought that industrialisation removed workers from the artistic process and as a result from nature itself. Ruskin felt that this dehumanized the worker and led to a loss of dignity. Ruskin advocated producing art and craft as he thought it brought “the hand, the head and the heart” together, helping to create a more purposeful and fulfilling way of life.
