While it had a significant impact on design and architecture, it did not attract a widespread following. The movement remained relatively niche, appealing mostly to a small group of artists, craftsmen, and intellectuals who valued handmade and unique objects. Therefore, the statement that the Arts and Crafts movement was successful in influencing a very large group of supporters is false.Rate this question:
