Roycroft: Chapel

The Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, NY is a special place for me as a modern Master Roycroft artisan. Established in 1897, the Roycroft Campus is the birthplace of the Arts & Crafts Movement in America. It remains the best preserved and most complete complex of buildings of the “guilds” that evolved in the United States at the turn of the 19th century. Elbert Hubbard envisioned an guild atmosphere where artisans could come together to practice their craft. Artwork by Julie Leidel, 2017.
