SUMMARY:ADULT CERAMICS WORKSHOP: Making a Mosaic Tile
DESCRIPTION:Three Class Sessions (March 6\, 13\, 20)\, 1-3pm   \nwith Paul Halferty\, Master Potter and Co-Owner of Lily Work Tile\, Old Lyme \n$275 (Members 10% discount); limited enrollment \nPurchase tickets here \nExplore your creative side by making a 12″ x 12″ mosaic wall tile from start to finish. Use a prepared pattern or come up with your own design. Guided by local artisan Paul Halferty\, participants will work with earthenware clay and design\, cut\, glaze\, reassemble\, and grout a unique mosaic wall tile. All three workshop sessions will be held in the Hartman Education Center at the Florence Griswold Museum. \nThroughout the three-session workshop\, Paul provides personalized support to help students feel confident as they create a one-of-a-kind mosaic piece perfect for display. Paul guides students step by step through the entire mosaic-making process. This workshop is a great way to get started working confidently with clay\, learn new techniques\, and tap into your creative potential in a relaxed\, fun\, and friendly environment. \nPaul Halferty earned an BFA in ceramics from Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia before working for the famed Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown\, PA. There he spent a decade honing his craft as mold-maker\, ceramist\, and teacher. Paul is a kindred spirit to the skilled American nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts Era craftsmen. According to Paul\, “They believed passionately in honest craftsmanship\, and the importance of creating beautiful\, well-made objects that can be used in everyday life.” Paul and his wife Esther own Lily Tile Studio in Old Lyme\, CT and produce artisan tile compositions for private homes and corporate installations. \nImage: Courtesy of Lily Tile Studio.\nThe Museum’s educational programming is supported by the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut; Connecticut Humanities; the Randolph and John Dirks Fund; the John and Kelly Hartman Foundation; the Sally Bill Children’s Education Fund; the Betty M.

SUMMARY:LECTURE & DEMONSTRATION: Women & Their Wardrobes During New England’s Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The Web They Wove: Women & Their Wardrobes During New England’s Revolution \nwith the Dirty Blue Shirts\, Historians\, Scholars\, and Artists \n$15 (Members 10% discount) \nPurchase tickets here \nUnderpinning the sensationalism of battle reports and broadsides regarding the Revolution is the often-silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The choices they made every day about fashion\, fabric consumption\, and creation drove the course of war just as determinedly as any congress. As southern New England commemorates the 250th anniversary (semi quincentennial) of the War for Independence\, it is these local lives dressed fully in wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity\, resilience\, and empathy in us today. From the mythology of homespun to legends of midnight rides in red cloaks and calashes\, the Dirty Blue Shirts share stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts as well as a look at what they wore as their worlds turned upside down. \nThis program is presented by costumed historians and includes reproduction clothing pieces & fabric samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant originals. \nThis exhibition is made possible with the generous support of the Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust\, the David T. Langrock Foundation\, HSB\, Department of Economic and Community Development\, Connecticut Office of the Arts\, Bouvier Insurance (a HUB International Company)\, CT Humanities as part of its America 250 | CT program\, as well as donors to the Exhibition Fund and the Annual Fund. Media sponsor: WSHU Public Radio.\n  \n    \nEducational & Travel Program Refund Policy\nNo refunds for Broadway bus trips or Miss Florence’s Teas after transaction is complete. Refunds for programs over $20 are subject to a $20 cancellation fee. Refunds (less $20 fee) are offered for cancellations made prior to a program’s noted refund date.
