The Henry Ford Virtual Verbal Description Program - 

Art Pottery in America

 

Date: Wednesday, May 8

 

Time: 2-4 pm EDT

 

Ceramics made in America began with simple earthenware, made in the 17th and
18th centuries for household use. In the early 19th century, new methods and
materials, like salt glaze stoneware and porcelain, made these utilitarian
pieces more durable, and companies emerged to market them. Through
industrialization, factory-made ceramics became part of American life by the
late 19th century. At the same time, women of means were encouraged to
decorate china, which led to the Women's Art Pottery movement in the 1870s
and 1880s. These pioneering women were so successful that factories imitated
their work, creating a new industry by 1900. In the years just before World
War I, most Americans had some art pottery in their homes, whether hand-made
by china decorators or mass produced. During this program, Curator of
Decorative Arts, Charles Sable, will discuss the origins of American Art
Pottery, the individuals who created it, and how it evolved into the 20th
century. 

 

This experience will be conducted remotely in verbal description and
conversation. The program will be held via Zoom and will be accessible by
web link and call-in phone number, depending on your preference. 

 

This program is free. Reservations are required and space is limited. Please
email  <mailto:accessibility at thehenryford.org>
accessibility at thehenryford.org or call 313-982-6168 to register and with any
questions.

 

Thank you!

Caroline
