F r o m t h e D i r e c t o r. . .
I
have been noticing a recent resurgence in the
concept of "storytelling. "Storytelling happens in
many situations, from kitchen-table conversation
to religious ritual, from libraries and museums
to performances for thousands of paying listeners.
Some storytelling situations demand informality;
others are highly formal. Some demand certain themes,
attitudes, and artistic approaches. But one thing is
constant—storytelling has always been essential to
human development; and the passing down of oral
histories, the retelling of tales and the art of captivating
an audience with a well-told story have been around
for millenia. And what a powerful tool it is!
We all have memories of hearing stories as young
children—listening to stories about real events and real people told by our parents
and grandparents, or enjoying a re-telling of a fairytale or a favorite book, listening to
poetry, or seeing a performance of Shakespeare. Storytelling allows us to use our
imaginations and lose ourselves under the spell of the storyteller.
But storytelling is also an important way to communicate and cultivate community.
Shared stories , which are the essence of any community, can inspire and transform a
group of people to collectively claim a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment.
When one person's story can become three or twenty or one hundred people's
stories, then the shared history can serve to bring a community closer.
Museums are using storytelling as a method to share their mission and focus
attention on their exhibits. After all, the real purpose of a museum is to bring people
and communities together and into contact with each other. By caring for local,
regional, national and international collections, museums bring meaning, context and
consistency to our more fragmented and diverse 21st century cultural and
community life. The real things that are a museum’s stock in trade: the people,
stories, and objects of art, history and science, are the raw materials of inspiration,
and inspiration leads to good storytelling.
METC has a wonderful story to tell. For us, this means a renewed focus is on lifelong
learning and how we tell our story and story of the people of New Jersey. We are
looking at who we are now and how the past has influenced our present. And our
story is your story—one that inspires, educates and encourages imagination.

The Chairman’s Letter
O
ur Museum began operation in 1970, so at age 46 we are a “middle aged” institution.
It’s time for reflection, reevaluation and revitalization. That process has been going
on for over a year now, and the results are appearing everywhere.
We are still the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts, but we now promote the acronym
METC as our public identity and the symbol of our rebranding activity. You will notice our new
logo on this issue of our newsletter, and we have new letterhead and business cards. Our
outdoor sign will be refreshed soon, and our completely renewed website is now live at
www.metc.org. It will take a while for our refreshed identity to supersede the old completely,
but it is a worthwhile and much needed change.
Tom Judd, M ETC Board Cha ir
Our future is almost limitless,
and we are embarking on an
exciting new journey. We
hope that our members and
friends, old and new, will join
us on that journey.
- Tom Judd, Board Chair
The “new METC” is not just new graphics. We have been deeply examining every aspect of our
operation. While we remain true to our mission by remaining grounded in the past, we aim to
be a modern and relevant 21st century institution. We seek to embrace the needs and interests
of our audience while helping them to understand how the work and lifestyles of our forebears
have influenced who we are and how we live today.
Almost everything we do can be traced through history. METC is a museum of history, but one
that is now more focused on the present while looking to the future. We will continue to
present programs that look back to our roots, but there will be many more that examine the
world of today and ponder the world of the future. What we eat, how we dress, where we work,
what we create, and how we communicate are all aspects of our lives that reach back through
all of history, but they are continually changing. We believe that remembering the past can help
us to understand and adapt to our current and future lives.
Our future is almost limitless, and we are embarking on an exciting new journey. We hope that
our members and friends, old and new, will join us on that journey.
- Tom Judd
New Logo—Symbolically Moving Forward
I
magine putting the last forty years of your life in one picture. Then try to put the next 10
years into the same picture. That was the challenge presented to local graphic artist and
painter, Dennis McKee of Dennis McKee Designs, when asked to create a new logo for
METC.
"The logo had to honor the past, yet be open to new opportunities for the museum," said McKee.
"It had to represent the past, the future, and METC's new active role in telling its story as a
museum and a community center for Madison."
McKee worked with Executive Director Deborah Farrar Starker, Board Chair Tom Judd, and
Strategic Director, Michele Luciano Faas, and after more than 15 different designs the team
reached agreement on the present logo.
Dennis McKee
The design for the new METC sign
"The use of symbolism is very important in the new
logo design," explained McKee. "The slanted
parallelogram denotes forward movement. The golden
'swash' is the bridge between the past and into the
future. The simple block letters are indicative of
contemporary letterforms. The letters aligned with the edge of the parallelogram creates a
feeling of expansion. The predominant red gives a sense of activity and assertiveness."
"METC was so very fortunate to have graphic artist Dennis McKee create its new logo and
branding image for us," said Deborah Farrar Starker. "Dennis helped us define exactly what
message we wanted our logo to convey and guided us expertly through the process. It was a
true pleasure to work with him and we are thrilled with the final result. This new branding
clearly captures the positive energy and new ideas that will help us increase our visibility, our
appeal, our impact and our recognition in the community and beyond."

Upcoming Exhibit: Good Earth: Pottery and Terra Cotta Industries
O
ur upcoming exhibit, Good Earth: Pottery and Terra Cotta
Industries in New Jersey, follows the world-famous New Jersey clay
industry from the earthenware jugs of the colonial kitchen to the terra cotta
masterpieces that shaped American skylines in the late 19th century.
During this time, artisans and entrepreneurs competed to harvest the rich clay
resources of New Jersey's rivers. Over 40 terra cotta companies called New Jersey home
over the state's six-decade reign as the terra cotta capital of the world, eventually
merging into mega-companies like Atlantic Terra Cotta in Perth Amboy and Rocky Hill
and designs that live on in the Woolworth Building and the Flat Iron Building in New
York.
People have appreciated the durability of pottery for thousands of years. In New Jersey,
Native Americans began making pottery for storage and cooking before 200 B.C.E. The
earliest attempts to start pottery shops in New Jersey date to the late 1600s. Most of
these early potters were farmers with small backyard kilns and kick wheels who made
kitchen crocks for their neighbors from clay they harvested and prepared by hand. Even
as the craft of pottery evolved into grandiose forms, the basic technologies and skills of
the trade remained the same. Today, handmade pottery is experiencing a renaissance as
people continue to rediscover how pottery can be both practical and artistic.
The exhibit will also feature tools and original pottery from the museum's collection as
well as photographs, shop drawings, terra cotta and brick molds, and examples of
ornamental terra cotta pieces. A special highlight of this exhibit will be two c. 1899 terra
cotta finials from the museum's building, removed for renovation and on display for this
one-time-only show. Their fleur-de-lis design exemplifies the artistic flair of late 19th
century terra cotta ornaments.
"Granite disintegrates and
crumbles...Marble soon
moulders into dust...but hard,
well-burnt clay endures forever
The exhibit will open on July 17 and will run through December 31, 2016.

The Story of Terra Cotta, c. 1920
METC Moving Forward
U
pdating our Permanent Exhibits
As METC moves forward to focus on the extraordinary stories we tell, we are in the planning stages of reinterpreting our existing
Main Level Exhibit New Jersey Family, originally installed in 1996. Using our collection of artifacts and material culture from the
18th and 19th centuries, our exhibits communicate, reveal and form connections, with the audience providing a tangible link between us
and people of past societies.
The current exhibit interprets a typical rural family circa 1800, displaying the division of labor among family members, and is informative
and historically accurate, but lacks vibrancy, interactive components, adequate lighting, and accessibility. Modern exhibit design and
interpretation will help give meaning to these early settlers' lives by revealing connections to larger stories that resonate with 21st century
families. Phase 1 of this project, for which we anticipate receiving NJHC funding, will include planning criteria to identify audience, message,
objects and themes. We will re-design the exhibition and the space while retaining the basic theme of the early New Jersey Family and
further develop and expand the visitor's engagement and understanding of this topic.
O
ral History Project
Our Education and Curatorial staff are in the process of developing a major proposal to create a comprehensive Oral History
Project at METC. Oral Histories are verbal documents that contribute to an understanding of the past. We will be engaging high
school students, historians and Humanities experts to partner with us on this project which will culminate in an exhibit focusing on these
oral testimonies and interpretations of New Jersey History.

Spring Hat Show Success!
O
Monika Stebbins
Spring Hat Show Director
n March 6, METC hosted the Spring Hat Show and became a fashion showcase of over 50
handcrafted modern hats created by milliners from The Milliners Guild. Over 60 guests
enjoyed the hat fashion show along with light refreshments, and the opportunity to
purchase these one-of-a-kind hats.
METC Curator, Kristin Lapos also led a guided tour through the museum's latest exhibit, The Milliner’s
Tale: The Craft of Hat Marking during the early part of the afternoon.
The show was directed by Monika Stebbins, milliner, co-curator of the exhibit and owner of the newly
opened Hat Shop Madison. Eric Hafen, Artistic Director of the Bickford Theatre, was Master of
Ceremonies for the show. After the show, the hat sale was enthusiastic and proceeds went to METC
programming.
Modeling the gorgeous hats were former Olympian JoJo Starbuck, historian Janet Foster, actress/
singer/musician Deborah Fennelly, freelance marketer Chris Anderson, and former Madison resident
and pharmaceutical advertising executive Leah Starker. Hair and makeup for the models was provided
by Salvatore Minardi Salon.
METC thanks our event sponsors, Irene Maroney, Rodger Herrigel, Andrew B. Boles and Codfish Park
Design for their support of this event and their continued support of the Museum.

METC Beyond the Walls
W
ho knew that museums could be...well...gross? METC is proud to be a part of Historic
Speedwell's new exhibit called "Commodes, Coffins, and Consumption,” part of the “Gross
Tour,” which runs from April 1 to October 31, 2016. METC contributed several "gross” items
from its collection that help to illustrate how 19th century families like the Vails (who lived at
Historic Speedwell) handled toiletry, medicine, and food before the Industrial Era.
METC contributed 16 objects, including a lard press, a leg
brace, bleeding cups, a head saw, a hog scraper, obstetrical
forceps, syringes, and a tooth extractor.
We encourage our METC members to go and have a “stinky,
sticky” visit to the Vail House for a gross tour. This exhibit
highlights how very disgusting history can be!

Interns Connect METC to Local Universities
T
Kristin Lapos, former intern and
METC’s new Curator of
Collections
he Museum of Early Trades & Crafts is fortunate to have an ongoing interning
relationship with several local universities. This academic year, seven college
students representing three universities, have worked with us.
Cathy Walter (Seton Hall University, M. A. Museum Professions 2016): "One of the
best things about working at METC is the location. Madison has such a wonderful, small-town
feel and the residents are so supportive and appreciative of the museum!" Cathy has assisted
with weekend coverages, exhibits, and children's craft programs. "Definitely the most special
project I've worked on is installation of The Milliner's Tale. All the creative, productive energy
was exciting and inspiring."
Alexa Zbieranowski (Drew University): "One of my most meaningful tasks was helping
Kristin (Curator of Collections) with phase one of the deaccessioning project. It has even
opened my eyes to a new interest in collections management! I have learned skills at METC
that I never would have encountered in the classroom. From working with archival software
to observing school programs, I have learned how METC puts a mission into action through
an engaging interpretation of the past. I am very grateful for the opportunity to intern in such
a warm environment."
Interns Daniela Correia (left),
Alexa Zbieranowski (center) and
David Giacomini
David Giacomini (Drew University): "The environment was friendly and welcoming from the
moment I walked through the door. I have met so many wonderful people, and I hope I get
the opportunity to come back next year." David's plans are to become a history teacher. "I
absolutely love getting the opportunity to assist with the education programs at the Museum.
It is so great to see the children working on and enjoying the crafts and lessons. Interning
with the museum has allowed me to practice my skills and learn many new ones as well."
Daniela Correia (B.A. Rutgers, 2016): “I enjoyed assisting the educators during the programs
and being able to observe and learn from the best.”
Other interns working at the Museum this year are Peggy Shriber (Seton Hall University) and
Ruth Dorton (Seton Hall University) will both be attending graduate school in the Fall.
Kristin Lapos (Seton Hall University, M. A. Museum Professions 2016) will continue on at
METC in her new position as Curator of Collections.
Cathy Walter, Seton Hall Intern
Working with college students is a win-win situation for all involved. The interns take part in
meaningful work-related experiences, and METC receives invaluable assistance from the
brightest and best students around. We wish them luck in their studies and look forward to
continuing our relationships with them in the future.” - Meg Wastie
METC Moving Forward
S
TEM in Education Programming
Providing learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom is the focus of METC's mission. One of the most exciting concepts in
education today is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). A recent report by from the National Science and Technology
Council to the President of the United States, stated that "advances in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have long
been central to our Nation’s ability to manufacture better and smarter products, improve health care, develop cleaner and more efficient
domestic energy sources, preserve the environment, safeguard national security, and grow the economy."
As a museum that interprets the history of technology from the 18th and 19th centuries, we integrate STEM concepts into many of our already
existing programs for students in K-12. For example, Curriculum guidelines frequently incorporate "big picture questions" for teachers to use
with students including: (Technology) How are simple machines utilized to solve a real-life problem? How do simple machines make our lives
easier?(Mathematics) When would you need to find the area or perimeter of an object? What quadrilaterals were used to build this simple
machine? (Social Studies) How did technology change our region?
METC's Educators are attending workshops and symposia to learn more about integrating these STEM concepts into our educational programs
and we are committed to working closely with curriculum administrators around the region to establish cutting-edge programming.

Orange Initiative Continues METC Mission
"T
his is the best place I've ever been!" exclaimed a 2nd grader from Seth Boyden
School in Maplewood at the end of his field trip to the Museum of Early Trades &
Crafts.
Thanks to a grant from the Orange Orphans Society, METC has again been able
to offer programs free of charge to schools in Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange
& Maplewood. The grant generously provides funds for METC programs for students in grades
pre-K through 12, covering all costs: program, craft supplies, staff coverage, and round-trip
transportation.
Students enjoying their day at METC
Throughout April, May & June, close to 400 students will be visiting METC for programs
ranging from Early American Toys & Tales, to Simple Machines, to Creative Journal Writing in a
museum setting. Each program provides a background lesson that supports New Jersey Core
Curriculum Standards as well as METC’s mission. Each lesson also includes a take-home craft
relevant to the lesson. "We loved every part!" wrote one teacher on her evaluation of their
program in April.
METC has also provided an incentive for these students and their families to come visit again.
Each participating student receives a guest pass for free admission for a family for a return trip
to the Museum, "the best place [to be]!"

The Museum Educators Roundtable
I
n February, the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts hosted the first meeting of the Museum
Educator Roundtable, a forum for museum educators to meet, discuss current issues,
share ideas and plan collaborations. Invitations were sent out to museum educators from
Paterson to Princeton. Representatives from METC, Liberty Hall in Union, Historic
Speedwell, Fosterfields, and Maccullough Hall, all in Morristown, and the Jacobus Vanderveer
House in Bedminster were in attendance at the inaugural meeting.
Meg Wastie , C urat or of Educat ion
The group members discussed topics ranging from pricing, curriculum-relevancy, successes
and less-than-successes, possible museum collaborations, and variety of programs. All felt that
"venting and validation" were the key words of the day as nods of agreement accompanied
each speaker's comments.
The Roundtable is scheduled to meet every two months, with each meeting attracting new
participants. Liberty Hall in Union hosted the April meeting and Stickley Museum at Craftsman
Farms in Morris Plains and the Snyder Academy of Elizabethtown came on board. Fosterfields
in Morristown will provide the setting for June's meeting.
It's great to meet with others who do the same work. Even though our individual missions are
diverse, we all have similar issues in common. The participants are excited to share with one
another, and are happy with this wonderful new network of colleagues.

Lecture! Tapestry in America: The Little Known History
T
he art of tapestry making has been around for thousands of years and is basically
unchanged in technique and structure. Most are familiar with the European work of the
medieval and renaissance periods featured in many of our museums. However few are
aware that tapestry has held an important place in the history of the Americas. On
Sunday, June 12th at 2 p.m. (Admission $10, includes admission to METC) Tapestry artist and
conservator, Susan Martin Maffei will touch on the history
and the influence on present day works. This lecture is in
advance of METC's Textile Art Exhibit and Sale at METC on
September 17-18, 2016 at METC.
“Traffic” by Susan Martin Maffei
Susan Martin Maffei is an internationally known tapestry artist
whose background includes art studies at The Art Students
League in NYC, tapestry training at Les Gobelins in Paris,
apprenticeship and studio work at the Scheuer Tapestry Studio,
NYC and conservation of antique textiles at Artweave and Gail
Martin Gallery, NYC. She has been weaving her work
professionally since 1985. She has taught, lectured and exhibited
in both the Americas and abroad and has work in both public and Susan Martin Maffei
private collections.
