Smith, Director Emeritus of the Museum of Arts and Design. Drawing on Smith’s career of over fifty years as an arts administrator and curator, this book records his extensive interest in meeting art­ists in their studios, as well as at con­fer­ences and national and international events. By reflecting his firsthand experience of the changing currents in twentieth-century craft, these images form a uniquely personal record that captures an important aspect of the history of the studio craft movement.
