SUMMARY:Paul Revere\, Silversmith: Assessing his Craft and Legacy with Janine E. Skerry and Jeannine Falino
DESCRIPTION:Join Executive Director Nina Zannieri and two noted silver experts for a thoughtful discussion of Revere as perhaps America’s best-known silversmith. Is this status warranted by his talent\, a result of his “Midnight Ride” fame\, or a little of both? How does his work inform our notion of craft\, craftsmanship\, business\, and entrepreneurship? \nJeannine Falino is an independent curator working in craft\, design\, and American culture. Formerly the Carolyn and Peter Lynch Curator of American decorative arts and sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, Jeannine co-published the museum’s American silver collection (2007)\, which is rich in works by Paul Revere\, Sr. and Jr. In 2017\, she curated New York Silver\, Then and Now\, a dialogue between contemporary artists and the historic silver collection of Museum of the City of New York. \nJanine E. Skerry\, PhD\, has curated exhibitions\, lectured\, and written widely on the topics of silver\, ceramics\, and dining in England and America. She has been employed at the Yale University Art Gallery\, Historic Deerfield\, and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, where she served as curator of ceramics and glass (1993–2009)\, curator of metals (2009–2016)\, and senior curator of metals (2016–2022). She is currently transcribing the silver shop daybooks of Paul Revere. \nSince 1986\, Nina Zannieri has been the Executive Director of the Paul Revere Memorial Association in Boston\, MA\, which owns and operates a now fully accessible complex of three historic buildings that includes the Paul Revere House. Ms. Zannieri has held leadership positions in several national and regional professional museum organizations including American Alliance of Museum\, New England Museum Association\, and the American Association for State and Local History. \nThis lecture is presented as a part of our 2026 Lowell Lecture Series\, “Engrave\, Paint\, Sew\, Weave: Craft and Craftspeople in Massachusetts.” Craft transcends boundaries of place\, time\, and culture by communicating across literal and figurative distances. Many craft traditions are also deeply rooted in the places they are practiced in\, influenced by local climates\, geographies\, and resources. Inspired by Paul Revere’s legacy as an artisan\, this series delves into four local and regional histories of craft and craftspeople. \nLectures take place on Mondays\, September 14 and 28 and October 05 and 26\, from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. Lectures are free to the public and can be watched online or in person at Smith Commons (5th floor)\, Sargent Hall\, Suffolk University\, 120 Tremont Street. The lectures will be recorded and available after the fact. \nThe in-person location is wheelchair accessible and has accessible restrooms. Seating is in free-standing chairs which may be moved. The live-stream and recording will have auto-generated closed captions only. Please contact the Paul Revere House with any questions about accessibility. \nPresented in partnership with GBH Forum Network\, the Suffolk University History Department\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, with funding from the Lowell Institute.

SUMMARY:Chemistry in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:By the late 1700s only about two dozen elements were known\, there was no periodic table\, and there were very few of the laboratory practices and equipment we use today. Chemistry teacher R. P. Hale will demonstrate the 18th century chemistry and procedures behind the art of making oak-gall writing ink. He will show how some artist’s pigments were made\, and how they were derived both from natural sources and made in the laboratory.

SUMMARY:Woodworking Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Though women did not legally own household items in early America\, Revere family tradition holds that the lady’s work table ca. 1810\, currently on display in the Revere House Best Chamber\, belonged to Paul’s second wife\, Rachel Revere. Sharon C. Mehrman\, furniture maker and historian\, will demonstrate carving elements found on a table like Rachel’s.

SUMMARY:Crafting Reform: The Saturday Evening Girls and the Paul Revere Pottery with Nonie Gadsden
DESCRIPTION:Photograph © Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\nThe Saturday Evening Girls’ club was established in 1899 to provide cultural activities for Italian and Jewish immigrant girls who lived in the tenements of Boston’s North End. In 1908\, the reform-minded club leaders founded a pottery to provide the girls with a clean and educational venue in which to earn money. They named the enterprise the Paul Revere Pottery in honor of the patriot’s home which stood near their clubhouse\, and to emphasize their own desire to be seen as Americans\, not foreign immigrants. The pottery exemplified the ideals of the early twentieth-century Arts and Crafts movement\, a design reform movement which sought to alleviate the negative social effects of industrialized society by promoting hand craftsmanship\, the integration of art into everyday life\, and healthy working conditions for artisans. \nNonie Gadsden is the Katharine Lane Weems Senior Curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston (MFA)\, where she is responsible for a wide range of artwork including decorative arts and sculpture from North\, Central and South America\, from ancient times through the 20th century. Her recent work includes a leadership role in reimagining of the 18th-century galleries in the MFA’s Art of the Americas Wing to mark the 250th anniversary of the nation (2026)\, curating the exhibition “Toshiko Takaezu: Shaping Abstraction” (2023-24)\, serving as lead curator for “Women Take the Floor” (2019-2021); developing new 20th century galleries\, including “Art and Jazz” and “Folk Meets Modernism” (opened 2022); and a publication based on the MFA’s collection of American modern design\, America Goes Modern: The Rise of the Industrial Designer (2022). Gadsden received her BA in American Studies from Yale College and her MA in Early American Culture from the Winterthur Program of the University of Delaware. \nThis lecture is presented as a part of our 2026 Lowell Lecture Series\, “Engrave\, Paint\, Sew\, Weave: Craft and Craftspeople in Massachusetts.” Craft transcends boundaries of place\, time\, and culture by communicating across literal and figurative distances. Many craft traditions are also deeply rooted in the places they are practiced in\, influenced by local climates\, geographies\, and resources.

SUMMARY:Restoring the Plants\, Restoring the Practice with Paula Peters
DESCRIPTION:Paula Peters will explore the deep relationship between environmental health\, Indigenous knowledge\, and cultural practice. Focusing on native materials such as bulrush and wampum\, the talk will show how plants and shells are not simply resources\, but living connections to land\, water\, craft\, and identity. Peters will discuss how invasive species\, development\, and ecological imbalance threaten these traditions—and how restoration efforts to bring native plants back can help renew both the landscape and the cultural practices rooted within it. \nPaula Peters is the founder of the Native American creative agency SmokeSygnals\, an independent scholar and a politically\, socially\, and culturally active member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. As an independent scholar and writer of Native\, and particularly Wampanoag history\, she is a producer of the traveling exhibit “Our” Story: 400 Years of Wampanoag History and is currently engaged in the Wampum Belt Project in search of the lost treasures of Metacom\, including an effort to restore the art and tradition of wampum making among her people. She is the executive producer of the 2016 documentary film Mashpee Nine and author of the companion book. She lives with her extended family in Mashpee and travels internationally to speak and educate on the true Wampanoag story. A graduate of Bridgewater State College\, she was formerly a writer at the Cape Cod Times where she won numerous national awards for her journalism. \nThis lecture is presented as a part of our 2026 Lowell Lecture Series\, “Engrave\, Paint\, Sew\, Weave: Craft and Craftspeople in Massachusetts.” Craft transcends boundaries of place\, time\, and culture by communicating across literal and figurative distances.

SUMMARY:Piece by Piece: Crazy Quilting and Making Memory in 19th-Century Massachusetts\, with Tenesha Carter Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Look closely at a crazy quilt and you’ll find a life woven in the mosaic of textured surfaces: a scrap of wedding silk\, a ribbon from the county fair\, a souvenir swatch\, a sliver of someone’s favorite dress. Gaining distinct popularity by the end of the nineteenth century\, “crazy” quilting was more than a technique\, but how makers kept record of what mattered to them. What did it mean to spend hundreds of hours of nimble labor into something you’d sleep under every night? These quilts reveal how ordinary women turned scraps and keepsakes into personal archives—and what their quilts can still tell us about the relationship between memory and material culture today. \nTenesha Carter Johnson is a curator and cultural historian\, with a particular investment in American quilt and textile histories. Her work explores the relationship between material culture and public history\, wherein quilts serve as records of lived experience and historical intervention. She holds a BA in Art History from Spellman College and MA in Decorative Arts\, Design History\, and Material Culture from Bard Graduate Center. Her research has contributed to leading institutions and digital resources such as the Museum of African American History\, Boston & Nantucket; Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture; and\, The Fashion & Race Database. \nThis lecture is presented as a part of our 2026 Lowell Lecture Series\, “Engrave\, Paint\, Sew\, Weave: Craft and Craftspeople in Massachusetts.” Craft transcends boundaries of place\, time\, and culture by communicating across literal and figurative distances. Many craft traditions are also deeply rooted in the places they are practiced in\, influenced by local climates\, geographies\, and resources. Inspired by Paul Revere’s legacy as an artisan\, this series delves into four local and regional histories of craft and craftspeople. \nLectures take place on Mondays\, September 14 and 28 and October 05 and 26\, from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. Lectures are free to the public and can be watched online (link coming soon!) or in person at Smith Commons (5th floor)\, Sargent Hall\, Suffolk University\, 120 Tremont Street.
