I would like to know how/what the arts and crafts members changed as they grew from the Hogath Club to the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society? Maybe somebody knows how they spread their Ideas in public?

Dante G. Rossetti and the other Pre-Raphaelite founders of the Hogarth Club believed that the arts were all equally as important to practice and learn. Rossetti most successfully was able to flow from one medium to the next.

The Hogarth Club rejected the craft and functional designs submitted by some of it's members. I suspect this caused some lively discussion and may have been the cause for the club's short life. William Morris, a member of the Hogarth Club, was an early and lasting friend of Rossetti. His founding of Morris and Co. certainly influenced the public's taste and introduced them to the designs of the Arts & Crafts Movement. It was the Morris' successful marketing that helped spread the Arts & Crafts ideals to America and other parts of the World.

The Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society was a natural progression in this decision to include the crafts as part of the arts and to realize that well designed and executed crafts could better the life of both craftsmen and buying public.
