HISTORY ON TAP: FROM BOTTLES TO WINDOWS: THE ROLE OF GLASS IN COLONIAL AMERICA

She previously served as Ceramics and Glass Curator and Associate Director at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, bringing extensive experience in American history, decorative arts and material culture.
