BiographyTrained at Gorham, Woolley was an early convert to the Arts & Crafts movement and worked as a silversmith and jeweler. He is one of only eight silversmiths to win the 'Medalist' designation, the highest honor bestowed by the Boston Society of Arts & Crafts. His work was featured in the Society's 1907 exhibition. Early in his career, he shared bench space with the important arts and crafts silversmith George J. Hunt and set up his own shop in 1908.
