tion. We will be exploring how individuals, cultural sites and
whole regions can study and learn from their historic past, evaluate their present and prepare for their future.
This year we are branching out from our usual Arts & Crafts
focus to explore the restoration of a variety of architectural sites.
Presentations will be given from various historical landmarks
designed by such noted architects as Louise Bethune (the first
professional female architect in America), H. H. Richardson and
Frank Lloyd Wright. We will also study the preservation work of
specific objects: windows, furniture, mosaics and stained glass.
Our Roycroft presentations will explore historical themes that
are not as widely known; the Photopictorialists of the Campus
and the Roycrofters time in the American West. Finally, we will
examine the resurgence of the Western New York region and the
idea of community-focused restoration.
