Stephen Miller as he shares his research about and personal contact with the works of the Enfield\, CT Shaker community.  Steve\, as he prefers to be called\, is co-curator of CMCH’s newest exhibit\, “From Their Hands and Lands: Artifacts from Connecticut’s Enfield Shakers\,” celebrating 125 years of their history\, craftsmanship\, distinctive designs\, and entrepreneurial agricultural practices. This program will focus on the objects in the exhibit—why they were selected\, details of their design and construction\, and the “back-story” behind their acquisition.  Limited enrollment and an open\, informal format will allow each individual maximum access and participation. \nRegistration and Fees \nThe cost for the program is $75 for CMCH members and $90 for non-members and includes lunch. Enrollment is limited and is first-come first-served. This program will fill up quickly\, so please do not delay.

He has collected\, researched\, written and taught about\, and exhibited a wide range of Shaker objects for even longer. He is the author of five books\, the most recent being\, From Shaker Lands and Shaker Hands: A Survey of the Industries and Inspired Innovations: A Celebration of Shaker Ingenuity\, both published by the University Press of New England. He has contributed to dozens more books about the Shakers. \nA long-time resident of West Hartford\, CT\, Steve and his wife endowed a permanent Shaker Gallery at the New Britain Museum of American Art three years ago. This is only the third such space in an American art museum\, along with those at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Study Day: Clocks
DESCRIPTION:This special small group study day experience offers an in-depth look at the technology and art of clocks with examples from the current CMCH exhibit\, Clocks: Objects of Art\, Keepers of Time and the CMCH collection. Participants are encouraged to share their own knowledge with expert presenters Tom Manning\, Curator of Clocks\, the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol\, Connecticut\, and Arthur Liverant\, and Kevin Tulimieri\, both of Nathan Liverant and Sons\, LLC. \nFree for Decorative Arts Council members.  \n$75 CMCH members\, $85 non-members. Lunch is included. \nSpace is limited. Pre-registration is required. To register\, please call Adult Programs Manager Jenny Steadman at (860) 236-5621 x289. \nClocks: Objects of Art\, Keepers of Time highlights the findings of an assessment done of our clock collection by Chris Bailey\, former curator at the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol. It was determined that CMCH had some examples of significant or rare shelf clocks in our collection. For this display we decided to focus examples made by two important shelf clock manufacturers from Plymouth\, CT\, Eli Terry\, who mechanized the production of wooden gears and introduced the use of interchangeable parts in to clock making and also invented the shelf clock and Seth Thomas\, who was a prolific manufacturer and skillful marketer of shelf clocks.  At times these men worked together\, at other times their businesses were in direct competition with each other. Both men made a significant contribution to the industrial development of Connecticut and to Connecticut clock making. \n  \nIf the Study Day inspires you to learn more\, the American Clock & Watch Museum holds one of the largest displays of American clocks and watches in the world\, and tells the story of how Connecticut was once the clock capital of the United States.

SUMMARY:Decorative Arts Study Day with Dr. Philip D. Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Philip D. Zimmerman\, nationally-recognized authority on early American furniture\, will facilitate this day-long examination of the objects in Connecticut Decorative Arts: Masterpieces from the CMCH Collection that relies on multiple interpretative strategies. Inquiry and assessment from a variety of perspectives—such as changes over time or place\, marketing and marketplace\, symbolism\, ritual\, and others—will be explored. The goal will be to gain a fuller understanding of the design\, construction\, material\, and historic complexities of objects in the exhibit.
