Lectures & Workshops
I offer lectures, workshops, and panel discussions on material such as jewelry, metalwork, ceramics, and poster art and subjects ranging from Paul Revere to contemporary craft.
My clients have included the Richard H. Driehaus Museum, Historic Deerfield, the Dallas Art Museum, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among many others. I would be happy to discuss how I could bring these topics to life for your audiences.
Critical Encounters: Gorham and Social and Cultural History
American silver in the context of etiquette, conspicuous consumption, and social change was the focus of my lecture for the RISD Museum at a symposium celebrating the exhibition Gorham Silver: Designing Brilliance 1850-1970 (2019). The lecture was based upon my essay for the accompanying publication.
