"Contributing to the institute’s adoption of the aesthetic and social principles of the movement was Theodore Hanford Pond, a designer and graduate of Pratt Institute in New York. Pond was hired in 1902 to develop the department of decorative arts and crafts. He arrived at the institute with extensive experience; he had worked at Tiffany’s in New York before he opened his own successful wallpaper and textile design studio. Under his direction, the art department evolved into the Department of Applied and Fine Arts, providing more than ten programs of instruction." - "RIT's artistic heritage and the Arts and Crafts Movement", by RIT archivist Becky Simmons, posted 2010 October 18 See all items with this value
