Adult Studio: Got the Delft Blues, Mar. 14, 1-3:30 p.m.
The famous blue and white tiles known as Delftware were used in Dutch interiors for hundreds of years and continue to be a popular decorative art. Visit the special exhibition Dutch Utopia for inspiration and create tiles using your own designs or stencils. Learn the techniques of using only one primary color—blue—on a white ground to create a detailed design, landscape or portrait. Kiln-fired tiles will be available for pickup in approximately 10 days following the session. For ages 16–adult; all supplies included.
Instructor: Beth Goldstein

Approximately 70 paintings and works on paper have been lent from collections throughout the United States and Europe for this exhibition, which has been organized by the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia.

The expatriate painter Elizabeth Nourse (1859–1938) left Cincinnati in 1887 to study, live, and work in Europe for the rest of her life. This small selection of paintings and sketchbooks from local collections highlights her interest in depicting mothers and children. A painting by Nourse is also featured in the exhibition Dutch Utopia. |
