SUMMARY:Redware and the Revolution!
DESCRIPTION:Family day to celebrate local pottery history: Redware pottery demonstration\, author talk\, pinch pot activity\, and tour of the museum’s collections! Peabody was at the heart of the Colonial red earthenware industry roughly between 1770-1850. Potters from around New England used to come here to train and to source the high quality clay from the North River. “Danvers-ware” and “Danvers China” are just some of the names associated with this region’s pottery heritage. Join redware potter Rick Hamelin and archaeologist Justin Thomas on this fun and informative afternoon! \n2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. | Rick Hamelin will present a pottery demonstration along with a discussion of specific potters from our Revolutionary War history. | Smith Barn Carriage Room  \n3:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. | Rick will facilitate a pinch pot activity open to all ages at the cost of $1. ATM on-site. | Smith Barn Carriage Room \n3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. | Justin Thomas\, an archaeologist\, will be doing an author talk on his forthcoming book on Peabody pottery\, and will provide a guided tour of our collection of redware pottery. | Nathaniel Felton Jr. House
