CELADON: ANCIENT, MODERN & TRENTON

Ceramics are a key element of Trenton’s industrial history. Trenton’s heyday in ceramic production, from the mid-19th century onwards, was preceded by three thousand years of experimentation with clay and glazes in Asia. Cela blue-grey-green shades of colors and glazes were the epitome of style for much of ceramic history.

Pennington School Intern Billy Wang worked with Trenton Museum Society Trustee David Bosted to create this talk, which will take place in Gallery 4 in the upper level of the Trenton City at Ellarslie.
We will record this talk for future online presentation.
