Quote:  We have been so excited to see the amazing changes happening on the Roycroft Campus.  The class that my husband and I took was dynamic and incredibly informative…I will be utilizing what I learned by teaching the information to my high school jewelry class this year.  The Artisans and Master Artisans are doing an excellent job of instruction!  The staff at the Copper Shop is well informed about the Roycroft tradition and are able to offer animated discussion to visitors looking for history or Artisan background and technique.  We can’t wait to see what the future holds with the Roycroft Campus Corporation as the catalyst for so much rebirth….The Roycrofters-At-Large Association is thrilled to be a part of their vision for the future!!
