CFC-139 — The Decorative Arts in Nj
From South Jersey glass to Barnegat Bay decoys, from Ware Chairs to the products of the potteries of Trenton and Jersey City, this course will provide an overview of the history of Decorative Arts produced in New Jersey. Targeted to appeal to those casually interested in antiques as well as students of material culture, the class will address not only objects created by craftsmen working in the folk and vernacular traditions but also refined and mass produced objects. Attendees will be expected to complete a short paper on some topic related to the broader course topic.
