This Saturday, June 27th, Made in Trenton opens at Ellarslie, the Trenton City Museum, with a reception from 7 - 9 pm. Brian Hill, museum director, describes it as 'an exhibit of the many and varied goods produced in the capital city today." Manufacturing mainstays, including the Switlik Parachute Company (who outfitted the expeditions and exploits of early U.S. adventurers including Amelia Earhart and Admiral Richard Byrd) and the world famous Boehm Porcelain will be featured alongside work from Ana Candles, Dathil (e-learning business), Terracycle, Saya’s African Fashions, and the shop of Sasha Parubchenko, the blacksmith of Trenton.
The show will run through the summer to September 13, 2009. Lovers of Boehm porcelain should note that a special demonstration will be offered at Ellarslie by Boehm artists this Sunday, June 28, at 2:00 p.m. Boehm artists will show off techniques used in the company's signature flower making, and the construction and decoration of their popular flowers and eagle figures.
