Craftsmen Notes
National society of crafts-
men notes
The Society has under way the re-
vision and republication of its Directory
of the Craftsmen of America. As there is no
charge for the insertion of names, all craftsmen
are requested to notify the Secretary, Mr. F. S.
Lamb (ng East Nineteenth Street) of their per-
manent addresses at an early date.
As an evidence of the good intent of the Society
in trying to aid the individual craftsman, it should
be noted that a special committee is preparing a
reference library of technical books covering the
field of handicraft which will be placed at the dis-
posal of all crafts workers.
Plans are already under way for the important
Annual Winter Exhibition of the Society to be held
throughout the month of December in the com-

bined galleries of the National Arts Club and
National Society of Craftsmen.
The exhibition of last year was universal in its
scope and very largely attended. While it was
the first important exhibition of the crafts ever
held in New York, it met with unqualified success.
It is expected that the coming winter exhibition
will be better both in the matter of technical stand-
ards and design.
There will be free lectures in the galleries during
the period of the exhibition, and on special occa-
sions practical demonstrations of craft work.
A special exhibition of block printing, stenciling,
etc., executed by Miss Amy Mali Hicks, has re-
cently been held in the members’ room. Miss
Hicks is an authority upon the subject of the color
treatment of textiles.
The Lumiere process of color photography was
recently employed to illustrate a lecture given before
the Society by Mr. John Getz upon the subject of
Persian pottery. The process is peculiarly well
adapted for this purpose.
Color photography has been much advanced
by the work of American photographers in the
new process. The remarkable work already done
here and abroad is represented in the forthcoming
quarterly extra number of The International
by w. d. Studio, which will contain 16 color plates and 90
paddock other reproductions.
