Book excerpt: The Arts and Crafts Movement exerted a profound influence on early-twentieth-century America, not only in the applied and decorative arts but also in the area of social reform. Standing at this intersection of art and reform were American art potteries that taught ceramics skills to working-class women as a means of securing income, restoring health, and/or uplifting the spirit. Like its better known and more successful predecessors -- the Marblehead Pottery in Massachusetts, the Newcomb Pottery in New Orleans, and the Paul Revere Pottery in Boston (home of the "Saturday Evening Girls") -- the Arequipa Pottery in Fairfax, California, had fascinating origins, and it produced distinctive wares that today are prized by collectors. Fired by Ideals: Arequipa Pottery and the Arts & Crafts Movement tells the story of the Arequipa Sanatorium and Pottery, whose roots lie in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. The dust and smoke from the disaster prompted an outbreak of tuberculosis, which afflicted "working girls" in particular. In 1911, a progressive physician, Dr. Philip King Brown, founded a treatment center in rural Marin County, north of San Francisco, where these women could get the rest and medical care they needed, as well as engage in a therapeutic and marketable pursuit: the manufacture of art pottery. In addition to its engaging historical narrative supported by dozens of vintage photographs, the book employs technical illustrations and beautiful full-color reproductions to examine the production process at Arequipa and the types of pottery made there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of more than fifteen years of research. The study has been carried on, partly in libraries and town records, partly by conferences with descendants of potters and others familiar with their history, and partly by actual digging on the sites of potteries. The excavation method has proved most successful in showing what our New England potters were making at an early period now almost unrepresented by surviving specimens.

Book excerpt: Beverly was first settled by five men known as the "Old Planters" and was incorporated as a town in 1668. Its first minister, Rev. John Hale, was the author of an important work on the Salem witch hysteria. In 1775, the schooner Hannah, the first commissioned military vessel, sailed from Beverly Harbor. Privateers also sailed from here for their raids on enemy ships. In the 19th century, Beverly's Lucy Larcom wrote about life working in the cotton mills. The early 20th century attracted a wave of immigrants for the construction of the United Shoe Machinery Corporation and the development of the estates, beaches, and gardens of Beverly's Gold Coast. President Taft vacationed at present-day Lynch Park, and many visitors have come to Beverly for the North Shore Music Theatre and Le Grand David.

Download or read book South Amesbury's Red Earthenware & Stoneware written by Justin Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Red earthenware production in South Amesbury (Merrimacport), Massachusetts dates to the eighteenth century, supplying households in the small corner of northeastern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and probably other spots in New England, with everyday utilitarian wares. This multi-generational family business lasted for more than 100 years, making it one of the longest standing potteries in New England. The most famous of those employed in South Amesbury was William Pecker, who operated a pottery during the circa 1791-1820 period. It is not widely known that Pecker was one of New England's earliest potters to product red earthenware and stoneware, perhaps only the second business to accomplish this feat in New England after the Parker Pottery in Charlestown, Mass. in the 1740s. This book is the first of its kind to explore South Amesbury's pottery production, the aesthetic appeal of these wares, and closely examine the stoneware manufactured by William Pecker." - Back cover.

Download or read book Potters on the Merrimac written by Justin Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented by the Custom House Maritime Museum in Newburyport, Massachusetts, this exhibition focuses on early American pottery production in Merrimacport from 1790-1890, with a focus on William Pecker pottery (circa 1790-1820), and by the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company in Newburyport (circa 1764 to 1799). This will cover most of the local pottery production before and after the American Revolution.The curatorial team of the Custom House Maritime Museum, along with Guest Curator Justin Thomas, have assembled an exhibit focusing on aspects of the production of multiple potteries and potting families along the Merrimack River, primarily from the periods of the eighteenth-century prior to the Revolutionary War to the mid-nineteenth century, with outlying examples in both style and material, including examples from the early twentieth century. This exhibition will be of considerable interest to the residents of the Merrimack region, ceramics collectors, and historians and history enthusiasts with an interest in the role of domestic production at the dawn of the United States. This type of exhibition is a first for the Custom House, bringing together collections, archeological specimens, and other intact surviving objects for display and contextualization. Many of these pieces are returning to the Newburyport area after upwards of two centuries of absence from their place of creation on the banks of the Merrimack River.
