Biography (from the Clara Hatton Center): "Clara Hatton's story begins and ends in Kansas. She was born in 1901 and raised on a farmstead in Russell County near Bunker Hill. She died in Salina, where she lived and worked from 1970 until her death in 1991. A practicing artist for nearly seventy years, Hatton had an impressive command of a wide variety of media, including: bookbinding, calligraphy and lettering, ceramics, metalwork, oil painting, printmaking, watercolor, and weaving. The artistic ideals to which she aspired have their source in the British Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A gifted educator and administrator, Hatton began her teaching career in a one-room Kansas schoolhouse before embarking on a career in higher education at the University of Kansas in Lawrence and at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where she built what is now CSU's Department of Art and Art History."
