EVERYDAY STORIES featuring the dynamic textile portraits of Clara Nartey will inhabit the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts from Friday, June 28th to Sunday, August 18th.

​

The Workshop Gallery is located in Building 3 at Ball & Socket Arts. Gallery hours are: 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (with extended hours during special events).

​

Everyday Stories : This exhibit highlights the stories of everyday people through textile portraits. I want to tell the stories of spirituality, identity, joy, excellence, hard work and struggle which are as old as humanity itself. For example, there’s the story of Sissieretta Jones who was so excellent as a musician she received so many accolades but died in poverty. And there’s the story of the African American woman beautifully adorned and dressed up for church on Sunday morning briefly leaving behind the struggles and difficulties of the prior week. Our stories are multifaceted. They’re not all roses. And they’re not all thorns. They’re more like rosebushes - beautiful and thorny at the same time.

Stump-in-Situ, a life printmaking event!

​

While the Muppets might not be synonymous with historic preservation, the 2011 comedy musical film “The Muppets” seemed a natural choice for a collaborative event by the New Haven Museum and the New Haven Preservation Trust (NHPT) on the lawn of the Pardee-Morris House, on Sunday, August 4, 2024, at 2 p.m. All ages are welcome to laugh along with this family film (rated PG). Register here for this free event. For weather updates check FB/IG or call 203-562-4183. 

​

The National Trust for Historic Preservation included “The Muppets” on its list of 15 Awesome Preservation-Themed Movies. During the madcap caper, a devoted Muppet fan reunites the gang to help save the Muppet Theater from Tex Richman, a businessman who plans to demolish it to drill for oil. 

​

Former NHPT president Rona Johnston will make a few introductory remarks before the film. She notes she has dreamt of a NHPT gathering at the Pardee-Morris House since she first visited the Morris Cove setting that is brimming with history. “We hope visitors will see that saving old buildings is important for everyone, young and old, human and Muppet,” says Johnston. “We also hope those attending will get to know the Preservation Trust in a lighter-hearted mode.”

​

Movies in the Plaza is back, bringing you free movie screenings in downtown New Haven’s beloved Pitkin Plaza! Select Sundays this summer, we invite families to watch kid-friendly movies! Grab your lawn chairs, picnic blankets and some takeout from a local spot, and spend a late afternoon enjoying family friendly films for all ages

​

Experiment with color and pattern by creating a unique set of puzzle pieces and stencils to produce a series of prints using a variety of printmaking mediums.

​

Students will learn painterly printmaking techniques to create background designs on a sheet of acrylic and then transfer the designs onto heavy paper using an intaglio printing press. Next, they will cut paper stencil shapes to add color and interest to their background designs.

​

The puzzle pieces are inked and printed by hand over stenciled colors to add pattern. The magic happens when layered colors combine to create vibrant, new colors.

​

Colorful, heavily textured Asian papers can be collaged onto the print for added interest.

​

Students will be able to complete several prints that might be very different from each other or include some of the same visual elements. The possibilities for color and composition are endless.

​

Once students have experimented individually, they will work together to share their puzzle pieces and stencils to create a large group print.

Tuition for this class includes a fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW.

​

This class is for beginners eager to learn all aspects of pottery, as well as returnees who wish to hone their skills.

Experiment with color and pattern by creating a unique set of puzzle pieces and stencils to produce a series of prints using a variety of printmaking mediums.

​

Students will learn painterly printmaking techniques to create background designs on a sheet of acrylic and then transfer the designs onto heavy paper using an intaglio printing press. Next, they will cut paper stencil shapes to add color and interest to their background designs.

​

The puzzle pieces are inked and printed by hand over stenciled colors to add pattern. The magic happens when layered colors combine to create vibrant, new colors.

​

Colorful, heavily textured Asian papers can be collaged onto the print for added interest.

​

Students will be able to complete several prints that might be very different from each other or include some of the same visual elements. The possibilities for color and composition are endless.

Etching is a form of intaglio printing in which lines are incised into copper through a protected surface and then “etched” in acid. The process dates back to Durer and was used from the Renaissance to modern times. For the past few decades, contemporary printmakers have been developing ways to make printmaking less toxic. This class will explore etching that uses more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional etching, including non-toxic grounds and water-based inks. Demos will feature different types of water-based inks, B.I.G. and Lascaux grounds, and coffee-lift techniques. Note: although this class is less- toxic, it still may still use products that highly sensitive people find irritating. Includes one 3-hour practice session per week during monitored practice hours. The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW.

EVERYDAY STORIES featuring the dynamic textile portraits of Clara Nartey will inhabit the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts from Friday, June 28th to Sunday, August 18th.

​

The Workshop Gallery is located in Building 3 at Ball & Socket Arts. Gallery hours are: 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (with extended hours during special events).

​

Everyday Stories : This exhibit highlights the stories of everyday people through textile portraits. I want to tell the stories of spirituality, identity, joy, excellence, hard work and struggle which are as old as humanity itself. For example, there’s the story of Sissieretta Jones who was so excellent as a musician she received so many accolades but died in poverty. And there’s the story of the African American woman beautifully adorned and dressed up for church on Sunday morning briefly leaving behind the struggles and difficulties of the prior week. Our stories are multifaceted. They’re not all roses. And they’re not all thorns. They’re more like rosebushes - beautiful and thorny at the same time.

​

​

The exhibition features numerous components connected to the adoration of the Eucharist, including its origins, its appearance and influence in works of art, its celebration and reverence throughout history, and its associated miracles.

Explore playful and unexpected approaches to the process of observation, description, mark-making and composition. Develop techniques to make abstract drawings that are rooted in direct observation and also pay attention to what is seen—or remembered—by the mind’s eye. In addition to fundamental exercises in gesture and contour, strengthen both technical skills and visual ideas as you create mixed media drawings that are personally meaningful and expressive. Jumpstart your creative confidence for future projects.

EVERYDAY STORIES featuring the dynamic textile portraits of Clara Nartey will inhabit the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts from Friday, June 28th to Sunday, August 18th.

​

The Workshop Gallery is located in Building 3 at Ball & Socket Arts. Gallery hours are: 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (with extended hours during special events).

​

Everyday Stories : This exhibit highlights the stories of everyday people through textile portraits. I want to tell the stories of spirituality, identity, joy, excellence, hard work and struggle which are as old as humanity itself. For example, there’s the story of Sissieretta Jones who was so excellent as a musician she received so many accolades but died in poverty. And there’s the story of the African American woman beautifully adorned and dressed up for church on Sunday morning briefly leaving behind the struggles and difficulties of the prior week. Our stories are multifaceted. They’re not all roses. And they’re not all thorns. They’re more like rosebushes - beautiful and thorny at the same time.
