SUMMARY:Miniature Making Workshop #2
DESCRIPTION:Painting a Miniature Matilda Browne Peonies \nwith Christine McIntyre-Hannon\, Artist\, Educator\, and International Guild of Miniature Artisans Fellow \n$195 (Members 10% discount); limited enrollment \nPurchase tickets here \nMatilda Browne’s Peonies (1907) in the Florence Griswold Museum collection is a wonderful example of American Impressionism. Painted en plein air\, the original captures sunlight and garden beauty with textured brushstrokes. It is believed that the scene was of Katharine Ludington’s garden in Old Lyme\, down the street from Florence Griswold’s boarding house. \nThis class will focus on acrylic painting in an Impressionist style. Students will learn image transfer\, four-value underpainting\, and miniature brushwork to capture the likeness of a masterwork while editing details for success as a miniature. The finished painting is 1.75” x 2.25” and a simple gold frame is provided. All skill levels are welcome. Experience in color mixing and paintbrush handling are helpful. \nStudents should bring magnifiers and a work light as needed.

SUMMARY:ART FILM AT THE KATE: The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism
DESCRIPTION:Frames in Film: Presented by The Kate & Florence Griswold Museum \n$17 (Members $15); ticket price includes box office fee. Visit katharinehepburntheater.org or call 860.510.0453 \nFlorence Griswold Museum Members call 860.434.5542 x111 for discount code \nEncore Presentation of this sold out hit film! \nTaking its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet\, the American Impressionist movement followed its own path which over a forty-year period reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about its art as a creative powerhouse. It’s a story closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanizing nation. Traveling to studios\, gardens and iconic locations throughout the United States\, UK\, and France\, this mesmerizing film is a feast for the eyes. \nIn 1886\, the French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel brought a selection of his huge stock of impressionist paintings to New York\, changing the course of art in America forever. American artists flocked to the French village of Giverny\, home to the master impressionist Claude Monet\, and cheered the French new wave: painting outdoors with a newfound brilliance and vitality. As Europe recoiled against the work of Monet\, Degas and Renoir\, Americans embraced it and created their own style of impressionism. As America made its epic move from a nation of farmers to a land of factories\, the pioneering American Impressionists crafted a sumptuous visual language that told the story of an era. \nThe Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism features the sell-out exhibition The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement\, 1887–1920 that began at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ended at the Florence Griswold Museum\, Old Lyme\, Connecticut. \nRuntime: 90 minutes

SUMMARY:ADULT CERAMICS WORKSHOP: Making a Mosaic Tile
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, August 22–September 5\, 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.
