Our very own board member and talented artisan, Jeff Icenhower, will present two lectures on the history of the original Arts and Crafts Movement (c. 1880-1920) and its influence on his longtime passion for leatherwork.

The lectures presented are titled Overview of A&C with some emphasis on the role of women and an Overview of A&C leatherwork with specific connections to the works in the CCWH. 
 
Lecture times are as follows:
11:30 Overview of A&C with some emphasis on the role of women
12:30 Overview of A&C leatherwork with specific connections to the works in the CCWH
 1:30 Overview of A&C with some emphasis on the role of women
 2:30 Overview of A&C leatherwork with specific connections to the works in the CCWH
 
Each hour-long presentation will be followed by a docent-led tour of the 1883 house museum, which includes original family furnishings and handicrafts (including some exquisite leatherwork on several pieces of furniture designed by Josephine Evans). 
 
Tickets are $10 for CACS members and $20 for non-members and can be purchased at the door for the 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM tours.
