The session will begin with a brief slide presentation exploring historical and contemporary examples for inspiration, followed by a demonstration of surface design techniques using non-toxic, food-safe underglazes, pencils, and chalks. There will then be ample time to decorate and glaze your own piece. All experience levels welcome. All materials are provided. Completed pieces will be fired and available for pickup approximately two weeks after the workshop. By the end of this class participants will: learn several methods for applying non-toxic, food-safe underglazes to bisque ware; explore techniques using underglaze chalks and pencils to add depth, texture, and contrast; gain an understanding of layering and mixing underglazes to achieve a variety of surface effects.; learn how to apply and finish their piece using a vitreous clear glaze to seal and complete the work. $250 AIHA members; $300 non-membersAdvanced registration required via this online form.

2:00pm–3:00pm The program is free with museum admission. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Join author Lindsay H. Metcalf for a talk and book signing of her new book Footeprint: Eunice Newton Foote at the Dawn of Climate Science and Women's Rights, a fascinating novel-in-verse for young adults capturing the discoveries of Eunice Foote, a remarkable woman in science way ahead of her time. Discover the extraordinary account of the first woman to identify carbon dioxide as a cause of climate change in 1856 when most people preferred that women be seen rather than heard. Foote also has a meaningful connection to the Capital Region—she was educated at Emma Willard School, formerly called the Troy Female Seminary, and attend science courses at the adjacent Rensselaer School, later renamed Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Fictionalized only to weave together some unknown pieces of Eunice’s life, this is a journey through time, triumph, trepidation, and trauma, revealing the extraordinary life and work of Eunice Newton Foote. Eunice’s most important discovery was recognizing the effect of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: a warming planet. But in a society driven by coal, kerosene, and crude oil, Eunice’s warnings went unheeded. After all, who would listen to a woman—especially a woman known to consort with suffragists? From the Seneca Falls Convention to the halls of the US Patent Office in Washington, DC, Eunice Newton Foote blazed a trail for independence and inquiry. Today Eunice’s discoveries feel ever more prescient. She knew that reliance on fossil fuels would have a devastating effect. Today she is finally receiving the credit she deserves. Eunice Newton Foote’s extraordinary tale is told in novel-in-verse format, perfect for teenagers interested in STEM.
