SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: Confiscation in the American Revolution: Taking Property\, Making the State
DESCRIPTION:This virtual program is part of our Winter Speaker Series\, and will be presented on Zoom. A link will be emailed to all current SCHS members the morning of the program. \nProfessor Daniel Huslebosch will discuss his recent work\, “Confiscation in the American Revolution: Taking Property\, Making the State.” Daniel Hulsebosch is a legal and constitutional historian whose scholarship ranges from early modern England to the 19th-century United States. His first book “Constituting Empire: New York and the Transformation of Constitutionalism in the Atlantic World\, 1664-1830” (2005) examined the intersection of constitutionalism and imperial expansion in the British Empire and the early United States and the emergence of a new legal genre: constitutional law. Another project explores early American lawyers’ engagement with international sources of private law. Hulsebosch directs the Samuel I. Golieb Fellowship Program at NYU School of Law\, is a co-editor of the Legal History Series at Oxford University Press\, and serves on the editorial board of the American Journal of Legal History. He is also a member (by courtesy) of the NYU Department of History.

SUMMARY:Workshop:  Needle Felted Fungi with Mallory Zondag
DESCRIPTION:In this fiber art workshop\, we’ll learn how to sculpt with wool through that art of needle felting. Artist Mallory Zondag will teach us how to work with wire to create an armature\, how to cover it with wool\, how to use the tools to form the wool into some fantastic fungi\, and finally how to mix and blend colors to bring your wooly mushroom to life! Cost includes all supplies. \nAbout the artist/instructor: Mallory Zondag is a mixed-media fiber artist and artist educator. Her experience with textiles while in art school led her to create both independent and community sculpture through a variety of fiber art mediums. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting\, weaving\, sculpting\, and stitching\, seeking to bring the ephemeral into physical being. The growth and decay of the natural world\, the duality of discomfort and attraction we feel towards it\, and humanity’s place within this dichotomy informs her dimensional textures and sculptural pieces. \nZondag’s work has been exhibited at The Banana Factory\, Bethlehem\, PA; The Allentown Art Museum\, PA: The International Biennial of Textile Art Scythia\, Ukraine; View Arts and Culture Center\, Old Forge\, NY; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\, Berkeley\, CA; Cornell University\, Ithica\, NY; Towson University\, MD; Ceres Gallery\, NYC\, NY: and Main Street Studio\, Ballston Lake\,\nNY. She has been an Artist-in-Residence at Acadia National Park\, The Allentown Art Museum\, and The Wassaic Project\, Wassaic\, NY.

SUMMARY:Family Spring Break Program: The Schenectady "Armory"
DESCRIPTION:Our collections contain many swords\, firearms\, and powder horns from bygone eras\, all prized possessions of previous inhabitants of our region. These weapons could be tools to cause harm\, but are also undoubtedly beautiful works of craftsmanship in their own right. This program will showcase several of the most remarkable pieces as we recall the stories of how they might have been used in some of the most dramatic and dangerous episodes in our local history. Participants will be able to touch and hold some of the objects discussed during this program\, and get a feel for what life on the frontier\, farm\, or battlefield was like in the 1700s and 1800s. \nThis program is designed for children and adults 8+\, but younger siblings are of course welcome!
