From 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. the Kellogg Environmental Center will have a special presentation and workshop on ukiyo-e.  The ukiyo-e presentation and art workshop will pay homage to this unique Japanese art form and Francis Osborne Kellogg’s collection of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Learn about the history of ukiyo-e and make your own ukiyo-e—inspired art using paper crafts. The workshop is appropriate for all ages.  All materials will be supplied, and there will be no fee. After the workshop, visit the museum and view its collection of Japanese prints and more Asian-influenced artwork.  Visitors can also explore the beautiful gardens surrounding the museum.

Connecticut Open House Day is sponsored by the Connecticut Office of Tourism (COT) and is designed to broaden awareness among residents of Connecticut’s exceptional art, culture, and history.  This special day encourages residents to become ambassadors who share their newfound discoveries with visiting family and friends. 

The Kellogg Environmental Center and Osborne Homestead Museum are located off Route 34 on 500 Hawthorne Avenue in Derby, CT.   Space for the workshop is limited -  please call (203) 734-2513 or email donna.kingston@ct.gov to register or for more information.
