Heritage Artisans Days is an annual program sponsored by Historic New Harmony and the office of Outreach & Engagement at the University of Southern Indiana. For nearly 40 years, students from the Tri-state area have traveled to New Harmony to hear and see how artisans lived and worked in the early days of New Harmony. Artisans demonstrate their professions and roles as they were in the 19th century.

We welcome public schools, private schools, homeschools, parents and kids, and the public to visit Heritage Artisans Days on April 24-26, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Registration for schools is available at https://www.usi.edu/hnh/programs/heritage-artisans-days.

Admission:
-$10 per adult
-$5 per student
– School personnel are free (note: one adult per homeschool family is considered school personnel)

The Harmonist Connection: Christoph Weber, Redware Potter of the Harmony Society

Nov 06 by Mary Beth Guard

Nov 15, 2023 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm CST

Join author Michael Strezewski for The Harmonist Connection as he presents about Christoph Weber, Redware Potter of the Harmony Society, on Wednesday, November 15 at 6:00 p.m. CST/7:00 p.m. EST. The virtual presentation is in conjunction with Strezewski’s new book on the same subject. This event is free to the public.

Christoph Weber was the master potter of the Harmony Society, a German utopian group founded by religious dissenter George Rapp. Working from 1808 to 1853, Weber made a variety of household wares such as pitchers, storage jars, jugs, plates, and mugs. Weber’s pottery was distributed among the Society’s members and sold to their neighbors. Utilizing documentary sources, archaeological investigations, and analysis of surviving ceramics, Michael Strezewski, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern Indiana, paints a detailed picture of Christoph Weber, the different types of pottery he manufactured, and his place in the early nineteenth century origins of the ceramics industry in the United States.

Michael Strezewski is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern Indiana. Dr. Strezewski has directed archaeological excavations in New Harmony since 2008, publishing numerous reports and articles on the Harmony Society.
