SUMMARY:ELVERHOJ: THE ARTS AND CRAFTS COLONY AT MILTON-ON-HUDSON
DESCRIPTION:Co-authors William B. Rhoads and Leslie Melvin present their new publication Elverhoj: the Arts and Crafts Colony at Milton-on-Hudson.   \nBooks will be available for purchase at this event. \nElverhoj (Danish for “hill of the fairies\,” pronounced “El-ver-hoy”) was an Arts and Crafts colony established in Milton on the picturesque west shore of the Hudson River in 1912 by Danish American artists and craftsmen\, led by Anders Andersen. Little known today\, the colony achieved a national reputation before World War I\, earning a gold medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. That same year a favorable write-up in Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman magazine with photos of the rustic studios added to the colony’s growing fame. Elverhoj was especially regarded for its jewelry and metalwork\, but the works of painter-craftsman James Scott and etcher Ralph Pearson added to its renown\, as did a fruitful connection with Vassar College\, strengthened by the efforts of colony members Bessie and Henrietta Scott\, sisters talented in textile arts. \nAs part of the William Morris–inspired Arts and Crafts movement\, Elverhoj experienced a decline in the 1920s\, partially offset by the opening of a theatre with links to Broadway and the addition of a Moorish-style dining terrace. Still\, the Depression dealt a fatal blow\, despite Andersen’s enlisting the help of Eleanor Roosevelt. The property was acquired in 1935\, by followers of the charismatic Black leader Father Divine\, becoming one of his most popular “heavens.” Andersen\, always the colony’s central figure\, died in obscurity in 1944. Many of the items related to Elverhoj in the UCHS exhibition stem from an archive kept by Andersen. \nUCHS Members are free to attend\, non-members $15 \nPrinted items made by Elverhoj artists

SUMMARY:The History of Byrdcliffe Art Colony with Henry T. Ford
DESCRIPTION:Whitehead House at Byrdcliffe \n \nHenry T Ford\, Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild Board Historian\, and Director Emeritus\, will present a talk on the historic Byrdcliffe Art Colony. Mr. Ford will give a Powerpoint presentation discussing the social and creative impact of the Arts & Crafts Colony\, founded by Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead and his wife Jane Byrd McCall\, Bolton Brown\, and Hervey White\, in 1902. \nEnglishman Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead (1854-1929)\, founder of Byrdcliffe\, came under the influence of art critique John Ruskin (1819-1900) while attending Oxford University.  Ruskin exposed him to the concept of an “ideal community\,” where useful and well made products could be created by artists to bring beauty to everyday life. Whitehead moved to America in 1892 and there met Jane Byrd McCall (1858-1955)\, who would become his wife. While working at Jane Addams’ Hull House\, a center for social reform in Chicago\, they befriended Hervey White (1866-1944)\, who was looking to begin an artist’s community. Bolton Brown (1864-1936)\, founder of the arts department at Stanford University in California\, and a painter\, became acquainted with the two men. In 1902 they hired him to return to his native state of New York to search for a suitable site to establish an art colony. While climbing to the top of Overlook Mountain in northern Ulster County\, Brown became enchanted with the natural scenery of the valley below him\, which included the hamlet of Woodstock. \nWhitehead approved and purchased 1\,200 acres of land for an art colony that he would call “Byrdcliffe” (combining parts of his name with those of his wife’s). The construction of buildings to be used as artist residences and studios began shortly thereafter. Workshops for furniture-making\, metalwork\, pottery\, and weaving\, along with a photography studio\, were all included in the building scheme. The idea was that the colony would sustain itself through the sale of hand-made furniture while creating an environment that would inspire resident artists. Sadly\, furniture production proved unsuccessful because Whitehead insisted upon a hand-made product that rejected the use of machinery\, making the pieces too expensive. Instead\, the colony turned to ceramics and other decorative arts as a means to support itself. Today\, Woodstock village continues to be a mecca for artists. Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild\, WAA & Museum and Maverick Concerts\, Inc.\, still exist at their original sites. \nReservations suggested \nMembers of UCHS free \nGeneral Public $15

SUMMARY:What Really Happened at the the Burning of Kingston with Guest Speaker Phil Ryan
DESCRIPTION:The UCHS Members annual business meeting begins at 2:30. All members are invited to this for election of officers and new board members. \n3pm\, Special guest Phil Ryan will begin his talk on the burning of Kingston. Following will be light refreshments and discussion with friends and members. \nAnyone interested in Ulster County history knows that Kingston was burned to the ground in October 1777.

How was it possible for the the State’s first capital to be left totally undefended? Where was the Ulster Militia? What happened to Kingston’s residents? The speaker will address these questions and the many dramatic events of October 16\, 1777. \n \nA lifelong public relations counselor\, Phil Ryan is a 30-year resident of Stone Ridge. He is an adjunct professor in the Media and Communication Dept. at The City College of New York. Between 2003 and 2008 he served as President of the Ulster County Historical Society. \nFee is $10 for non-members\, members are free.\nPlease RSVP via email to UCHSDirector@gmail.com or by phone 845 377-1040

SUMMARY:Coiled Pine Needle Basketry with Instructor Katie Grove
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT \nJoin Katie Grove as she guides you through this ancient process of basketry. Katie has done several basket classes for UCHS over the past few years\, always with great response. Space is limited so please make your reservations early. \nWorkshop participants will work with longleaf pine needles to create a beautiful and classic basket coiled basket using an ancient technique found all over the world. Bundles of material are sewn together in a spiral pattern to build the basket. In this project we will use a wooden round as the basket center and begin with a line stitch and soon progress to learn a variety of other stitches\, including V stitch\, wheat stitch\, and core wrapping. Depending on the colors of waxed linen or embroidery floss you choose\, the overall pattern and look of your basket will be totally unique. Overall size is approximately 4-5″ diameter and 2″-3″ tall. This workshop is great for beginners as well as those who have coiled with other materials and want to learn stitch patterns and advance their skills. The process requires some dexterity and finger strength. \nStudents should bring scissors\, a mask if you desire and lunch. Weather permitting\,  we will hold the class outdoors. \n

SUMMARY:Elemendorph Handspinners Demonstration Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming the Elmendorph Handspinners Guild of Red Hook New York. Over the two days the guild will hold a quasi “Fleece to Shawl” competition. Donations will be support both UCHS and the Elmendorph Guild. \nOn Saturday\, Sept. 18 begins the competition between 5 individuals (a weaver\, a plyer\, and 3 spinners).  The wool used for the weaving will be in lock form requiring carding\, spinning and plying.  The yarn produced will then be woven into a shawl which will measure at least 18 inches by 72 inches.  In a full-fledged competition this would be accomplished in 3-4 hours and be judged for the evenness of the spinning\, the complexity of the pattern wove\, the use of color\, and the evenness the weaving. \nOn Sunday\, Sept. 19 there will be a demonstration in the art of spinning with a wheel and with a drop spindle.  A drop spindle has been used almost since the beginning of time.  It is still in use today in many countries throughout the world.  Its advantages include low cost to begin this type of spinning as well as it’s portability. \nThe Elmendorph Handspinners Guild was established in the late 1980s. The guild usually meets on a monthly basis at the Elmendorph Inn in Red Hook\, NY. For additional information contact us at elemendorph@optonline.net.

SUMMARY:Murder at the Bevier House
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\nThis year’s murder mystery event has sold out. We hope to host another in the future. If you are interested and would like us to contact you when another is scheduled\, please email us. \n\n  \n\nAn Evening of History and Mystery\n\nThe year is 1890 and you’re invited to a Gilded Age party hosted by Louis and Catherine Bevier at their historic residence in Marbletown\, a site the Bevier family has called home for over 200 years.

You’ll be fussed over by Horace\, Louis’s a loyal butler and Charlene\, Catherine’s fortune-hunting maid. Katherine Kerry\, a reporter for the Rondout Daily Freeman\, is on the scene and she observes much more than glitz and gaiety after one of the guests is murdered.

Guess correctly and you will be eligible to win a prize. \n\nLight food and refreshments will be served. Limited tickets available.\nReservations required by Friday\, August 13th.

SUMMARY:Elverhoj: Ulster County's Arts & Crafts Colony at Milton-on-Hudson\, 1912-1934 with Dr. William Rhoads
DESCRIPTION:After Woodstock’s Byrdcliffe\, Elverhoj was Ulster County’s second important Arts & Crafts colony. Established by two Danish-American silversmiths\, Anders H. Andersen and Johannes Morton\, Elverhoj (Danish for “hill of the fairies”) was known for jewelry and silverware designed and made by individual artists\, but also for etchings and paintings by Ralph Pearson and James Scott. Elverhoj was publicized in Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman magazine and awarded a gold medal at the 1915 Panama- \nPacific Exposition in San Francisco. In the 1920s theatrical productions attracted audiences from the region\, but in 1934\, during the Depression\, Andersen lost the property. It was purchased in 1938 by followers of Father Divine\, the charismatic black leader\, and it became one of his most popular missions. \nA special exhibit on Elverhoj\, will feature items from the collection of Vivian Wadlin. Ms Wadlin’s collection holds a diversity of book plates created by artist Dard Hunter. Hunter was a papermaker that had his mill at what is known as the Gomez Mill House in Milton. The collection also has invitations to theatre productions held at Elverhoj and other events held at the colony. Several small water colors and other paper art will be on display. Craft pieces\, belonging to Dr. and Mrs. Rhoads and art work from dealer\, Sanford Levy will also be part of the exhibit. The exhibit will be on display at the Bevier House Museum through the end of July\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Cragsmoor and It's Art Colony with Hattie Grifo
DESCRIPTION:As we continue with the celebration of art history in Ulster County\, we invite you to the presentation on Cragsmoor and its mountainous refuge of artists. Hatti Grifo\, recently retired Cragsmoor Library Director\, will present this PowerPoint program. \nCragsmoor is a tiny hamlet in the lower Shawangunk ridge just outside the village of Ellenville\, where Sam’s Point and Bear Hill frame each end of “The Mountain.” Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh\, one of the more renowned artists moving to the mountaintop\, built a home for his family in 1892\, named “Endridge.” \nDellenbaugh designed two of the more public buildings in Cragsmoor\, the library housed in a beautiful building with unique character. The hidden treasure known as the Chapel of the Holy Name Episcopal Church (aka Stone Church)\, is also a Dellenbaugh design. The natural beauty of Cragsmoor makes it a beloved and unique place\, which has drawn the artistic and talented for many years. The artist population has continued to increase over time and remains an inspirational place. Many other visitors are attracted to Cragsmoor for its natural beauty\, vacation rentals\, and weddings and special events at the Stone Church\, the Historical Society\, and the natural wonders. \nHattie Grifo\, is a long time resident of Cragsmoor\, where her family first had a summer home but made a permanent move to the mountain in 1966. They bought the home of Frederick Dellenbaugh\, from which Grifo moved when she married.

SUMMARY:History of the Woodstock Art Colonies with Richard Heppner
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the rich history of artists in Ulster County. We know much about the Hudson River School of art\, but the movement that began in the early 20th century with art colonies forming in our area are still hidden in a mist of conjecture and hearsay. \nFor May – July\, UCHS presents a special exhibit featuring the art of area artists from the early 20th century. The exhibit will have pieces from the collections of the Historical Society of Woodstock and the Cragsmoor Historical Society. The exhibit will be open to the public weekends\, 11-5pm. \nRichard Heppner of the Historical Society of Woodstock presents our first lecture on the subject of art colonies. For his presentation on the growth of Woodstock as an American art colony during the first half of the 20th century\, he asks us to imagine…. \n“On a spring day in 1902\, a man by the name of Bolton Brown emerged from the thicket below the summit of Overlook Mountain and first viewed Woodstock and the expanse below. Hired by Ralph Whitehead to seek a physical location that would match Whitehead’s vision for an art colony\, Brown\, upon viewing the expanse before him\, wrote of that moment\, “Exactly here the story of modern Woodstock really begins.” \nFrom the founding of the Byrdcliffe and Maverick colonies to the arrival of the Art Students League and the impact of the WPA on the arts in Woodstock\, the talk will examine the transition of a small\, rural town into a community that counted among its citizens some of the country’s most creative individuals. It is a tale of remarkable talent and unique personalities within the context of changing times and values in the heart of the Catskills. \nRichard Heppner is the Woodstock Town Historian and member of the Historical Society of Woodstock He is a prolific author with such titles as “Woodstock Everday History\,” “Women of the Catskills\,” and “Legendary Locals of Woodstock.” \nFree to UCHS members\, $10 Non-Members
