SUMMARY:VIRTUAL WINTER STUDIES: History of Photography
DESCRIPTION:Look Again: New Approaches to the History of Photography \nwith Christopher B. Steiner\, Ph.D.\nLucy C. McDannel ‘22 Professor of Art History and Anthropology\, Connecticut College \nFridays February 13–March 13\, with optional add-on Museum visit on March 20 \n$85 (Members 10% Discount); Participants choosing to attend the March 20 in-person visit to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum will pay a $10 group visit fee separately \nPurchase tickets here \nEach week this short course\, presented via ZOOM\, will explore new approaches to the history of photography by moving beyond the usual “greatest hits” to explore the medium’s overlooked practitioners and its entanglements in our everyday life. Together these sessions offer a fresh\, critical\, and innovative way to understand photography’s past and its ongoing power in the contemporary world. \nWe begin by examining the multiple inventions of photography\, from its technological origins in Europe in the 1830s to its “invented” assimilation into the history of art beginning in the United States a century later. \nFrom there we examine the ethics and politics of documentary photography by exploring the works of well-known photographers like Jacob Riis and Dorothea Lang\, as well as the unknown men and women who chronicled with their camera the peoples and cultures of their own communities. \nIn our third class session we dive into the uncanny world of spirit photography and so-called “hidden mother” portraits\, as we consider ways in which photography can capture both the visible and the invisible. \nThen we turn to the rich terrain of “vernacular” or amateur photography\, asking what our family snapshots and anonymous albums reveal about ourselves and social life? \nFinally\, we conclude by looking at the fascinating intersection between photography and painting\, highlighting the ways in which the two mediums have overlapped and complemented each other – through painted backdrops in studio portraiture; painted foregrounds in arcade or carnival photography; and the painted photograph itself\, images enhanced\, tinted or entirely transformed by the application of pigment and paint. \nAn extra optional bonus session will be offered on March 20 to take a guided tour of Photography and the Painted Image at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum\, an exhibition curated by Christopher Steiner and students in his class AHI 250: Perspectives on Photography. \nFEB 13: The Inventions of Photography\nFEB 20: Documentary Photography: Insiders vs. Outsiders\nFEB 27: Spooky Stuff: Spirit Photography and Hidden Mothers\nMARCH 6: What About My Snapshots? Exploring Vernacular Photography\nMARCH 13: Photography and the Painted Image\nMARCH 20: Bonus Session: optional visit to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum to see Photography and the Painted Image \nPlease note: to receive a Member discount you MUST be registered with an online account.

SUMMARY:CERAMICS WORKSHOP: Make a Mosaic Tile
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, February 21–March 7\, 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.

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.
