Roycrofters at Large

Little Journeys Feb 5 2025: Henry Schmidt on Wendell Castle

$0.00

The Roycrofters-at-Large (RALA) and The Roycroft Inn are pleased to present Master Sculptor Henry Schmidt as RALA's featured presenter at the first Little Journey of 2025 on February 25, 2025 on the topic of the late Wendell Castle, whose prestigious career was centered out of Rochester and 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 is often regarded as the father of the art furniture movement.


In this journey, Schmidt will highlight a previous tour he took through Castle’s Rochester, NY studio before Castle's passing, offering an inside look at the essence of Castle's creative process and his distinctive approach to furniture making. Along the way, Schmidt will also share his own reflections on how cultivating a unique artistic vision can elevate one's craft, fostering both personal growth and transformative progress in the creative process.
