New director at Touchstone says they are poised for growth

he’s been on the job for about two months, but Lindsay Ketterer Gates, the new executive director for Touchstone Center for Crafts in Farmington, is excited to finally be on campus regularly. Hired in March, Gates
has been traveling to and from her former residence in New Jersey where she served as the director of development for the Peters Valley School of Craft in Sussex County. Gates grew up in Bucks County and has always been involved in the arts, with her mom being her art teacher through school.
After high school, she attended Kutztown University and studied in the fibers medium, garnering her Bachelor of Fine Arts. “While I was there, I started spending summers at a school almost identical to Touchstone — Peters Valley School of Craft in New Jersey,” Gates said. “I fell in love with this type of
education that offered this immersive experience. You were working in studios twenty-four/ seven and everyone there had the same passion for learning. “And then, while you were there, you were exposed to all of these internationally known instructors — you were working side by side with them — and it was
just an incredible experience,” she added. Gates knew right away that this was the kind of environment that she wanted to be in long term. “I worked for them as a studio manager and then got inspired to get my non-profit management graduate certificate from Seton Hall University (in New
Jersey),” she said. “I just continued to work for them in different capacities over the years, with the most recent as director of development.” It was during this time that she decided to go back to school to get her master’s degree in business administration. It was the finishing Growth, Page 3

up of classes to get her MBA, which she obtained on May 10, that had her going back and forth from Pennsylvania to New Jersey over the last several months. Also a career artist, Gates saw online the opening for executive director at Touchstone. “Fifteen years ago, I came to Touchstone to teach a class, but it ended up not happening so I did a short-term residency, spending a week working in the studios here,” she said. “It’s an amazing campus, and I’ve just always known of it. “The craft world is a small world, so everyone
knows of the different opportunities that come up,” Gates added. Part of the reason that Gates made the decision to get her master’s in business administration was so that she could take on a bigger role in heading an organization, so when she read the job description for the position at Touchstone she knew it was something she was interested in. “They were at a point where they were poised for growth, and that’s a really exciting time to be involved,” she said. “Then, when I interviewed with the board, that sealed the deal because it was evident that they were committed to seeing Touchstone succeed and grow and I know if I got the job that I would have a good support system.”
Colleen Hoesch, president of the board of directors for Touchstone, said Gates was a top candidate because of her position with the Peters Valley School of Craft, which has very similar attributes to Touchstone. “She has a lot of development and program experience and she’s well connected in the craft school world — which is a small-niche,” Hoesch said. “It was that experience with other craft schools that made her such a viable candidate. “With this experience in craft education and programming, this will allow the board to be less hands on,” Hoesch said. “As a board, our job is strategic planning, not being involved in the day-to-day running of things. Now is our chance to change the
culture of how the board works.” One of the goals for Gates in the upcoming months in to create more of a connection with the local community. “We have such an amazing campus,” she said. “We have amazing facilities and we want to be a great resource not only for the national craft community, but also the local community, and we need to make those connections.” Beginning this summer, the art galleries at Touchstone will be open to the public, with hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. “Our mission is to connect the arts to more people,” she said. “We will have guided tours of the campus so that everyone can see all of

our studios. We have a world class blacksmith studio, a ceramics studio, a children’s art studio and a painting and drawing studio that sits on the lake.” Gates added that if someone wants to check out the campus, a good day is June 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when they will be hosting introductory workshops. Actual touring will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. “We bring in artists from all over the country to offer workshops two to five days long and participants who sign up come and work with the artist from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each of those consecutive days,” Gates added. “We offer housing with our cabins and dormitories and a dining hall that provides three meals a day.”

There is also a teen week where teens have the opportunity to be taught and work sideby-side with nationally known instructors. “We want the community to see how we can be a resource for them,” said Gates. “We can send artists to schools to do demonstrations, we have hands on activities with children and people can fire artwork in our kilns. We’ve recently increased out staff, which will allow us to do that more proactively than we were able to do before.” She is hoping that the community will start checking their website (touchstonecrafts.org) regularly, because there will be several pop up events throughout the summer — make-it-andtake-it type events.

Thomas the Train chugs into the Children’s Museum By Rachel Basinger
T
rbasinger@heraldstandard.com
he beloved Thomas the Train steamed his way into the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh this month and plans to stay put through Sept. 19. “Thomas & Friends: Explore the Rails,” is an interactive exhibit created by the Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with HIT Entertainment, a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc. Bill Schlageter, director of marketing at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, said the “Explore the Rails!” exhibit is geared toward children ages 2 to 8, their families, and pre-school and school groups with children ages 2 to 8. “This exhibit is an excellent fit for Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh,” he said. “At Thomas & Friends, children and families will find themselves surrounded by not only Thomas, but also his engine friends and the Island of Sodor’s iconic locations like Knapford Station, Sodor Steamworks.” In the exhibit, children help Thomas and his friends solve a variety of challenges, from a simple sorting and shape identification activity to more complex engineering obstacles, such as completing a train track using track pieces with different levels of elevation. “As the children confront new challenges and test their abilities, the smiling faces of Thomas, Percy, Victor, and others are there to offer encouragement

and remind children how ‘Really Useful’ we all are,” Schlageter said. The exhibit allows children to: n Climb into Thomas’ cab and explore the engine’s inner workings. Flip levers and investigate other moveable parts that trigger train noises such as braking, whistles and steam. n Fix Percy’s wobbly wheel by removing and replacing parts and experimenting to find a combination of wheels, rods and bolts that work. n Explore the favorite Island of Sodor destinations including: Tidmouth Sheds, Brendam Docks and the Sodor
Search & Rescue Station on an over-sized Thomas Wooden Railway train table. n Work with old and new friends loading luggage, livestock and other freight into the coaches of two train cars. n Collaborate with others to get Percy moving by loading coal into his coal box and filling his tank with water from a water tower. n Suit up as the conductor to exchange money and sell tickets to other visitors taking a ride on the train. n Wander through a Thomas & Friends retrospective featuring model engines from
the original live action series produced in London, copies of the original drawings and manuscripts from the Rev. W. Awdry, the creator of Thomas & Friends, and a collection of memorabilia documenting the history and evolution of Thomas & Friends through books, television, and toys. Schlageter said the museum usually has an equal mix of exhibits that are brought in and one’s that are actually their own creation. Most recently, the museum created “Very Eric Carle: A Very Hungry, Quiet, Lonely, Clumsy, Busy Exhibit,” “Daniel
Tiger’s Neighborhood: A Grr-ific Exhibit” and “The Pigeon Comes to Pittsburgh: A Mo Willems Exhibit.” Currently these creations have departed the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh to begin multi-year tours to Children’s Museum’s across the country. This month “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: A Grr-ific Exhibit” goes to the Children’s Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee and “Very Eric Carle: A Very Hungry, Quiet, Lonely, Clumsy Exhibit” goes to the Family Museum in Bettendorf, Iowa. In September 2018
Submitted
“The Pigeon Comes to Pittsburgh: A Mo Willems Exhibit” travels to The Magic House in St. Louis, Missouri. Admission to Thomas & Friends: Explore the Rails is free with Museum admission. Children’s Museum admission is $16 for adults, $14 for children and free for museum members. For more information about the exhibit, visit https://pittsburghkids.org/exhibits/ thomas.

Charlie Puth — ‘Voicenotes’
ecently, it has been suggested that I don’t review younger pop artists as regularly as I should. In an effort to not become labeled as a grumpy old man or the get-off-mylawn guy, I’ve decided to explore the pop world of new music to see what’s being offered. Total disclosure, I wouldn’t know Charlie Puth if he suddenly fell on me while on my way to work. I certainly couldn’t identify any of his songs if pressured to do so in order to win a
head of anyone younger than 40 years of age. Ironically, this is also the same age group of fans listening to the music of this New Jersey-born singer, songwriter and musician. The 26-year-old pop sensation delivers a sophomore release full of infectious tracks glistening of sugary sophistication and R&B stylings that give Justin Timberlake and Adam Levine a spirited game of “Name real run for their money. That Tune.” By the way, On 2016’s “Nine I am confident that my Track Mind,” Puth welgame show reference comed fellow pop artists went completely over the Meghan Trainor, Selena
Clint Rhodes
Gomez and Shy Carter to the breakout party for his successful majorlabel debut. For “Voicenotes,” Puth uses the same successful formula of arranging talented guest star appearances as he duets with Boyz II Men on the tender number “If You Leave Me Now.” At first glance, I must confess that I was prepared to hear a cover of the 1976 Chicago hit. It conveys the same sentiment, only in a slick serenade manner. R&B singer-songwriter Kehlani pairs with
Puth as the two deliver a smoldering number about a relationship on the brink with “Done For Me.” In the category of something completely different, James Taylor eases onto the scene and collaborates with Puth on “Change” in a soulful search for peace and understanding. On the opener “The Way I Am,” Puth boldly announces that he’s going to stay true to himself regardless of how others feel about him. Adjusting to his growing success, Puth’s
declaration could be interpreted as a sign that he’s maturing and is confident in finding his own groove. The rest of the 12 songs featured on the album certainly support a case for Puth being poised for superstar status soon. You can either love him or dislike him, but the fact is Puth doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime in the near future. Clint Rhodes is the Herald-Standard music reviewer.
