Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms is presenting a two-session online lecture series taking place on February 7 and 21

Session One, February 7 at 1PM:

Brandt Zipp, “The Life and Legacy of Thomas W. Commeraw.”

Brandt Zipp is the author of Commeraw’s Stoneware: The Life and Work of the First African-American Pottery Owner and a founding partner of Crocker Farm, Inc., a research-focused auction house specializing in period American stoneware and redware. Based in Maryland, Crocker Farm consistently endeavors to push the field of American ceramics scholarship forward, using the objects it handles to help fill in gaps in the established history of the American utilitarian pottery industry. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University, Brandt has spent over twenty years researching Thomas Commeraw and his fellow New York City stoneware manufacturers.
