SUMMARY:Dard Hunter: Arts-and-Crafts Designer, Paper Historian, and Private-Press Printer Extraordinaire
DESCRIPTION:
 Lecture by Cathy Baker\n
 In 1904 when a young man, 
 Dard Hunter arrived on Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft 
 campus in East Aurora, New York, to learn 
 how to make "mission" furniture. He immediately 
 impressed everyone with his craftsmanship 
 in many mediums, and over the next 6 years 
 under his guidance Roycroft products featured 
 his avant-garde designs. Dissatisfied with 
 what he regarded as this derivative style, 
 however, he sought an area of research in which 
 he could make an original and valued contribution; 
 he found it in the history of papermaking. 
 From 1911 until his death in 1966, Hunter 
 researched and traveled around the world 
 several times to gather information and materials. 
 To disseminate this information to a wider 
 audience, Hunter handprinted books, most 
 under his imprint Mountain House Press, located 
 in Chillicothe, Ohio. These extraordinary 
 books, as well as his classic reference, Papermaking: 
 The History and Technique of an Ancient 
 Craft and his papermaking collection (now 
 at the Renewal Bioproducts Institute at Georgia 
 Tech) form the extraordinary legacy that 
 Dard Hunter left to us.\n\n
