The Virginia Safe Project 

Common to most nineteenth-century Shenandoah Valley households, the ubiquitous pie or food safe is the focus of a multi-year research project launched by Jeff Evans and Kurt Russ in August 2010 as The Virginia Safe Project

Based on a combination of field research to record and photograph Virginia safes and extensive documentary evidence, the project's Shenandoah Valley survey will culminate in a 2013 exhibition at a soon to be announced Virginia museum as well as an illustrated catalogue describing the findings.  Click to read press release

Shown below: Shenandoah Co., VA pie safe with tins dated 1860 and Rockbridge Co., VA George Washington punched tin.

Stoneware of the Old Dominion

(Past Event)

 

Pictured above TOP: Andrew Coffman and family, Rockingham Co., Virginia stoneware, circa 1850-1855; the sugar bowl with an important, recently uncovered provenance.  BOTTOM: From a newly attributed group of Augusta Co., Virginia stoneware; the jar dated 1874, pitcher and jug dated 1875.

This exciting, highly successful one-day colloquium, Stoneware of the Old Dominion: Important New Research and Discoveries, was offered as the debut of the Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates Annual Virginia Decorative Arts Seminar.  

The seminar, held from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET on Saturday, June 18, 2011, featured the following expert presenters/authors speaking on various regional topics: Rob Hunter and Marshall Goodman (James River), Kurt Russ (Rockbridge and Botetourt Counties), Scott Suter (Rockingham County), and Jeff Evans (Augusta County). 

This event was dedicated to our dear friend and colleague, the late Eddie Wilder.  Eddie's tireless research and devotion to Alexandria pottery has been an inspiration to us all.
