According to Stephen Bartkus, curator at the Gunn Memorial Museum in Washington, Connecticut, "Art from the Earth: Early American stonware (was an) exhibit in 2012 that exhibited over 140 pieces of uniquely decorated eighteenth and nineteenth century stoneware from throughout the northeast, assembled by Edwin and Thayer Hochberg, David Behnke & Paul Doherty, and Edwin and Judith Kelz.
The stoneware featured ranged from a circa 1780 pot attributed to Abraham Mead in Greenwich, Connecticut, to the elaborate workmanship of a circa 1880 Boston Bean Pot made at the Whites Pottery in Utica, New York."
Stephen Bartkus told me in 2012, "The museum also hosted a stoneware series to coincide with the exhibit, where national experts spoke monthly. The experts included Steven Ledger, Guy Wolff, Leslie Keno, Meta Janowitz, Mark Zipp and Brandt Zipp."
Below, I have posted the entire catalog from this exhibit, which lists all 140 pieces of stoneware; as-well-as a few photographs that were provided to me by the museum in 2012, which show wide shots of the stoneware exhibit.
