In partnership with Colonial Williamsburg, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts is pleased to host the 2025 Southern Ceramics Forum: Making Connections, March 14-15, 2025 in Winston-Salem.
Optional pre-conference activities include several workshops. Join Johanna Brown, Chief Curator, for a Moravian Bottles workshop focused on press-molded figural bottles made in Salem between 1800 and 1850. Interested in hands-on learning? Tryyour own hand at making press-mold baking dishes and sampling traditionally made baked goods with Demmie Stewart, Old Salem’s potter. Moving our attention south, join us for a hands-on, small group Georgia stoneware workshop with Brandon Pratt of Cagle Auctions, focused on the migration of the form from Edgefield, South Carolina to Jug Tavern, Georgia.
