A lively and in-depth study of American art pottery will take place at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, CT on Monday, May 14, led by popular Martin Eidelberg, Professor emeritus of Art History, Rutgers University. Hosted by the Connecticut Ceramics Study Circle, this annual seminar will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will include a gourmet box lunch for all participants.
Dr. Eidelberg, a prolific author and lecturer in 20th century American ceramics and glass, will divide the study into three lectures: an overview of the American Art Pottery movement from 1875-1915, the fascination with the new French process of painting under the glaze, known as Barbotine decorated ware, and following lunch, a highlight of the advances in glazing technology of that era.
For today's ceramicists, collectors, students and professionas, this is a program not to be missed.
