the School House Gallery and adjacent woodworking studios provide you with a unique
opportunity to see the craftsmanship and working methods
of four Roycroft Master Artisans with over a century of
experience in the field among them.
The custom-made tables, mirrors,
frames, lamps, bookcases and cabinetry
they create in the Craftsman style
(of mostly native Eastern woods such
as quarter-sawn white oak or birds eye
maple) are all done using traditional
furniture techniques and methods.
Following Roycroft founder Elbert
Hubbard’s philosophy of making
furniture “the very best we can,” their
work reflects a dedication to the craft,
respect for their materials and a love of the work
of a skilled artisan. Through consultation on the overall
design, wood selection and finishes, customers are involved
in the design process. These artisans have done commissioned work for such notable clients as the Frank Lloyd
Wright Conservancy, Hammersmith Collections, Grove
Park Inn and the National Parks Service.
