SUMMARY:Pressing Matters: The Art of Printing at Historic Deerfield (Lecture and Print Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:<p> </p><p><strong>Thursdays, March 16, 23, 30</strong><br><strong>7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.</strong><br><strong>Flynt Center of Early New England Life</strong><br><br>Through a combination of lecture and object study, this three-part course will examine the practice of printing on different media.Woodblocks and copperplates transmitted the designs that would adorn maps, prints, and other decorative objects on paper. European printed textiles first sought to imitate elaborate painted cottons from India, known as chintz; with improved technology in the 18th century, yards of cheaper printed cottons eventually became available.  Transfer-printed ceramics allowed for quick and inexpensive decoration. For the first time handsomely decorated pottery with intricate designs and lively colors was affordable for the middle classes. These developments led to mass-production and greater access to decoration and color on commodities.</p><p>Registration required.</p><p><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-3D001nTUXykEvPGXPJEO7d3D2YWki7oDeZ77Ix2ohHHhndCHmfPyZXO5JyMhFwG0KAK5jaxzlxnLvhcsjSeFmVYf-2DC6cc1-5FsCLca43iOi865Svhny4MksNggL9nXimTZpHViIttMy8bcifXf6KcVk4wvHwNgmo1nmfZmzEBCjuSFMpPDoBrW6ThjDuZZGKR6-2DIkzPeC2DHVJqJouFxJQGzLy98ackJHGboPa5LSDupVu2mMv0IGej3xqIJpW6RT4CGy7pEqQNd2AKMRzhr5xIT7S1xw-3D-3D-26c-3DOskOISOcrvHXls137WBo4D9Px-5FFjo8ngimXblPHEGidM9DYuFtKG0g-3D-3D-26ch-3DPixay2aKTOthamhxUiDO6-5FtkYyneDFF4-2DbCzTyN-5FHwrsV4G8XZzc0g-3D-3D&amp;d=CwMFaQ&amp;c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&amp;r=d-51fevjuWJ7WzZY0y0BouTOvLCsE6Nbeq9XtutWF7k&amp;m=KqwqZvO2CMrccsJNzgpvA2Mblq97uLWs2mSb99GpjNY&amp;s=qgcyci1FGJ2uVfwe0_OtggooR4OF_VHaXAjeM4PAGXg&amp;e=" target="_blank">Get more information, including a class schedule and registration fees.</a></p>
