SUMMARY:Made To Last: 18th Century Furniture With Bob Van Dyke
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, the Connecticut Museum is celebrating its 200th birthday! We’re excited to present a series of programs that will shine a light on some of our most treasured collection items. \nIn this program\, Connecticut woodworker Bob Van Dyke will utilize furniture from our collection to showcase the living craft of furniture-making today\, and demonstrate some of the techniques used to create these pieces. \nSpecifically\, Bob will focus on Federal period ornamentation. He has studied Federal period inlay extensively\, and will demonstrate the making of some of the more common types of inlay that were used in the various Connecticut furniture shops. Unlike today\, furniture in the 18th century was a status symbol and the more highly ornamented the furniture was\, the more expensive it became. Consequently\, it was a subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) mark of the success of the owner. Ornate carving\, intricate veneer work\, curved chair & arms along with all sorts of inlays played a huge part in the value of the furniture and the status of the owner.  Shaded fans\, geometric bandings and oval paterae were all incorporated which added significant value to the furniture. \nYou’ll have the opportunity to study some of the pieces from the Connecticut Museum furniture collection that will illustrate Bob’s presentation. \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org. \nTickets\n$15 General Admission\n$10 for Connecticut Museum Member levels under $150\nFree for Connecticut Museum Member levels $150 and above \nGET TICKETS\nAbout Our Presenter: \nBob Van Dyke\, Director of the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking in Manchester and a Contributing Editor for Fine Woodworking Magazine\, has been studying Federal ornamentation for years – especially with regard to Connecticut furniture. After 18 years as an award-winning chef in French restaurants Bob left the business to begin a career in woodworking and teaching. Furniture making had provided an outlet to the pressures of the restaurant business until 1993 when he started the Harris Enterprise School of Fine Woodworking in Manchester\, CT. In seven years of operation the school gained national exposure and recognition. \nIn 2000 he formed a business partnership to open the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking in Manchester\, CT. The school was an instant success and the demand for classes was so great that a second shop was built to allow two classes to run simultaneously. He continually strives to expand his skills and knowledge and has been studying and building period furniture for over 25 years. He is a Contributing Editor for Fine Woodworking Magazine and has written articles for Woodshop News and American Period Furniture. He has also done many videos for www.finewoodworking.com. \nBob’s school offers a variety of classes taught by himself and by many of today’s top woodworking instructors. This variety of instructors and styles ensures that there will be something for everyone at CVSW. \nBob’s approach to teaching centers on the belief that people learn “by doing rather than by watching”. Successful furniture making also depends on utilizing a sensible combination of machine woodworking and handwork. Bob’s classes feature hands-on woodworking projects that promote mastery of both handtool and machine woodworking techniques. Bob teaches classes and gives seminars at a number of different schools and woodworking guilds around the country.

SUMMARY:The 29th Connecticut Regiment And the Fight For Freedom — Film Screening and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the short film “The 29th Connecticut Regiment and the Fight For Freedom\,” followed by a presentation by one of the filmmakers. \nThis original documentary\, which won Best Connecticut Film at the 2023 Mystic Film Festival\, tells the story of the brave African-American men who enlisted in Connecticut’s 29th Colored Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War and fought for the freedom of their people. The film tells their remarkable story of sacrifice and heroism on battlefields in South Carolina and Virginia. Near the end of the war\, the 29th Connecticut was sent to Brownsville\, Texas where they were part of the federal force that occupied that town and brought news of the emancipation of the enslaved – celebrated today as Juneteenth. \nAfter the film screening\, Christopher Barlow of the Berlin Equity Action Team will give a presentation about the making of the film. \nBefore and after the program\, we invite you to browse our exhibition\, Wide Awake: Campaigning for Lincoln. The exhibition highlights a youth movement born out of the 1860 presidential campaign that had an outsized impact on Lincoln’s election and the war that followed. \nThis program is free! Please register below to let us know you’re coming! \nREGISTER\nQuestions? Contact Public Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289.
