About the Evening's presentation:

Beginning in February, the Little Journey speaker series will be presented in two parts within The Roycroft Inn Complex on South Grove. The evening’s program will begin with a relaxed start cocktail hour at 4:30 pm in the Library Bar before attendees to the lecture will move to the Roycroft Chapel for the presentation beginning at 6pm. Those who wish to dine following the lecture will receive 10% off of their dinner at The Roycroft Inn that evening beginning at 7:15 p.m. by mentioning Little Journeys when making a reservation.

 

Roycroft Renaissance Master Sculptor Henry Schmidt will present a Little Journey on sculpture and function on Wednesday, February 5 with a visit to the work of the late Wendell Castle, renowned sculptor and furniture maker. Castle, whose prestigious career was centered out of Rochester/WNY, played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between art and craft. His innovative designs transformed furniture into more than just functional objects, elevating them to sculptural works of art. Castle was widely published and was the recipient of multiple awards throughout his decades long career, including a National Endowment of the Arts, and is often referred to as the father of the art furniture movement.

Little Journeys connects the Roycroft community by offering artist talks, demonstrations and lectures that educate and stimulate intellectual and artistic curiosity, and serve as a homage to Elbert Hubbard’s original Little Journeys, small trips to artists of note that shared intimate glimpses behind their process and lives. For years, this series was an important part of RALA’s presence on South Grove, and offered “show and tell” by Masters and Artisans, Artisan Forums and visiting nationally known speakers.

 

This performance will be live streamed to Members and Patrons in good standing who cannot attend. Remote viewing will be made available to Members and Patrons in good standing who cannot physically attend. For more information on membership, see our Membership page. Membership opportunities and tickets for the 2024 Goodie Box Fundraiser will be available at the evening’s event prior to and immediately following the meeting and presentation.
