SUMMARY:Black Craftspeople Across the Virginia Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur second lecture of the season features Victoria Hensley. \nThe Black Craftspeople Digital Archive seeks to enhance what we know about Black craftspeople by telling both a spatial story and a historically informed story that highlights the lives of Black craftspeople and the objects they produced. This fall\, the BCDA will launch the Virginia portion of the archive and map. Together\, we will dive into the lives of these Virginians\, learn their stories\, and understand how they shaped the landscape and material culture of the state. \nHensley is a PhD candidate in Middle Tennessee State University’s Public History Program. For the past year and a half\, she has worked with Black Craftspeople Digital Archive as their Tennessee and Virginia research lead and social media manager. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Plantation Pottery: The 19th-Century Stoneware of Edgefield District\, South Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur third lecture of the series features Katherine Hughes. \nThis presentation will explore the nineteenth-century alkaline-glazed stoneware of Old Edgefield District\, South Carolina\, a place of monumental pottery production made possible by the area’s environmental resources\, new technologies\, and the forced labor of enslaved African Americans. An important part of Southern art history\, Edgefield stoneware tells a fully American story of innovation\, art\, resistance\, and freedom\, while still holding many questions for future scholars. We will discuss how this utilitarian ware can speak both to the forced labor of slavery as well as individual craftsmanship and artistic expression.  \nKatherine “Kate” Hughes is currently working towards her Ph.D. in Public History at Middle Tennessee State University\, where she is a research assistant with the Center for Historic Preservation. Her research focuses on the 18th- and 19th-century material culture and decorative arts of the American South\, with an emphasis on exploring marginalized and ignored histories through objects\, architecture\, and place. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:The Birth of Southern Cooking: Food\, Politics\, and Mary Randolph
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur fourth lecture of the season features Christopher E. Hendricks. \nWhen Mary Randolph (1762-1828) published her cookbook\, The Virginia House-Wife\, almost two centuries ago\, she created an American classic. The work was the first regional American cookbook\, the first published work on Southern cooking\, and according to some food scholars\, the first authentically American cookbook\, period. The book is a fascinating historical document\, providing insight into Southern culture\, food traditions\, household organization and management\, and women’s position and role in society. The story of Randolph\, her book\, and its impact on American foodways is a tale involving family turmoil\, political rivalry\, financial ruin\, female agency\, and above all else\, good cooking. \nChristopher E. Hendricks has worked extensively in archaeology\, historic preservation\, and museum interpretation with many organizations including the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, Old Salem\, Inc.\, and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. He is the author of numerous publications\, including The Backcountry Towns of Colonial Virginia and Old Southern Cookery: Mary Randolph’s Recipes from America’s First Regional Cookbook Adapted for Today’s Kitchen. He received his Bachelor of Arts in History and English from Wake Forest University and his Master of Arts and Doctorate in History from the College of William and Mary in Virginia\, where he specialized in early American history and material culture. He is Professor of History at the Armstrong Campus of Georgia Southern University in Savannah\, where he has been teaching since 1993. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:On Classic Ground- the remarkable story of Wilton House\, Wiltshire\, England; historic seat of the Earls of Pembroke
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur fifth lecture of the series features Jeremy Musson\, Architectural  Historian.  \nWilton House\, Wiltshire is one of the UK’s greatest country houses\, seat of the Earls of Pembroke since the 1540s.It was adapted as a grand country house from a former abbey in the mid sixteenth century; and its south front famously recast in pioneer Palladian style\, in the 1630s for the 4th Earl of Pembroke\, advised by Inigo Jones\, with Isaac de Caux as executant architect\, the grand state rooms reworked in Jonesian spirit after a fire in the 1640s by John Webb. The house was further embellished  with  architectural interventions by James Wyatt for the 11th Earl\, including a neo-Gothic cloister where sculpture was displayed. \nIn the early twentieth century the north front was also remodelled by architect Edmond Warre\, and in the 1930s a library was de-Gothicised with advice from Rex Whistler. Whistler loved the house\, as did photographer Cecil Beaton\, who described Wilton House as ‘unfailing in its beauty’. During darker days in the second world war\, D-Day was planned from the famous ‘Double Cube Room’. \nThe house remains the family home of the Earls of Pembroke and the present (18th) Earl inherited in 2003 aged only 25. The has been extensively restored since the 1980s\, with rooms carefully redecorated and the outstanding collections gathered over generations redisplayed on the basis of research and advice from David Mlinaric. Wilton is the model of agreat English house which has passed over the centuries\, with its rich layers of architectural alteration and art. \nMr Musson will speak on its architectural and social history as well as its collections. \nJeremy Musson M Phil\, FSA\, is an architectural historian\,  architectural editor of Country Life 1998-2007\, presenter of BBC2’s The Curious House Guest’\, and author of many books on English country houses\, interiors and social history.  \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:'So Pious an Institution': Slavery\, Religion\, Education\, and Virginia's Bray Schools
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur sixth lecture of the series will feature Nicole Brown. \nWhen the Williamsburg Bray School opened its doors on September 29\, 1760\, it was the first official endeavor in Virginia to provide education for enslaved and free African Americans. Offering religious instruction in the Anglican tradition\, the varied perspectives on Virginia Bray Schools were often complicated and contradictory. Public historian and early colonial scholar Nicole Brown will explain the pivotal role these schools had on our understanding of the relationship between slavery\, religion\, and education prior to the American Revolution and the Second Great Awakening. \nNicole Brown is a researcher\, performer\, and interpreter of women in Virginia spanning from 1750 to 1800. As of 2020\, Mrs. Brown is completing an M.A. in American Studies at The College of William & Mary. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Interpreting the Evidence: Mount Vernon's Front Parlor
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur seventh lecture of the series features Adam Erby. \nIn September 2013\, Mount Vernon curators made an exciting discovery; a previously unknown ledger kept by George Washington’s friend and neighbor\, George William Fairfax\, appeared at auction. At first glance\, the ledger seemed to have little to do with Mount Vernon\, but as curators mined the document they discovered that much of the London-made furniture listed in the ledger came to Mount Vernon\, either by purchase or gift\, when its original owner returned to England at the outbreak of the American Revolution. \nThis lecture will trace the fascinating tale of these furnishings from the London warerooms of William Gomm and Son to the grand\, but now lost\, Virginia plantation of George William Fairfax and his wife Sally\, and finally to the principal rooms at Mount Vernon. The talk will demonstrate that as these furnishings moved from place to place through retail purchase\, auction and gift\, they served as a powerful means of establishing Fairfax\, and later Washington\, as a sophisticated grandee on the edges of empire. The lecture will focus on the most important find from the ledger\, the rediscovery of the furnishings of Mount Vernon’s front parlor. \nAdam Erby serves as the Curator of Fine and Decorative Arts with George Washington’s Mount Vernon. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Sewing the Seeds of Style: Botanical Silks and Enlightenment Era Fashion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur eighth lecture of the series features Kristen Stewart. \nEighteenth century flower culture grew out of many of the same circumstances to which the Enlightenment has been attributed: a growing interest in and understanding of the natural world\, increased globalism through expansion of international trade routes\, and the rapid advancement of industrial technology. A visual narrative of this influence can be traced in the floral forms popular in woven and embroidered designs of fashionable silk and cotton textiles of the period. \nKristen E. Stewart joined the Valentine as the Nathalie L. Klaus Curator of Costume and Textiles in the fall of 2014. Stewart was most recently a curatorial assistant in San Francisco’s Fine Arts Museums\, where she has worked since 2013 in the Caroline & H. McCoy Jones Department of Textile Arts. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Glass in the 18th-Century British World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nThe ninth and final lecture in the series features Dr. Christopher Maxwell. \nIn the 18th century\, Britain was a vibrant and commercial nation. Its growing cities were hubs of politics\, sociability\, scientific advancement\, entrepreneurship and commerce. \nFrom glittering costume and elaborately presented confectionery\, to polished mirrors and dazzling chandeliers\, glass helped define the social and cultural rituals\, values and spaces of the period. While innovations in glass delighted the wealthy\, the material also bore witness to the ambitions of colonization and the horrors of the African slave trade. Glass beads were traded for human lives and elegant glass dishes\, baskets and bowls held sweet delicacies made with sugar produced by enslaved labor. Underpinning Britain’s prosperity were aggressive foreign trade policies\, colonization and a far-reaching economy of enslavement\, the profits of which funded the pleasures and innovations of the fashionable world. \nThis talk will consider the many innovations\, functions and meanings of glass within the ‘British world’ during the 18th century. \nChristopher (Kit) Maxwell is Curator of Early Modern Glass at The Corning Museum of Glass. He is curator of the special exhibition ‘In Sparkling Company: Glass and the Costs of Social Life in Britain during the 1700s’\, and editor of the accompanying publication. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.
