Historical Tidbit:
First Slitting Mill in the Area
Early Bridgewater industry: In 1760, David Keith, aided by his brother George, built the Keith Mill. It was a rolling and slitting mill on the Matfield River, just below the Orr Iron Works.
The earliest rolling mills were slitting mills that were introduced from what is now Belgium followed by England in 1590.
These mills passed flat bars between rolls to form a plate of iron, which was then passed between grooved rolls (slitters) to produce rods of iron. The slitting mill was a watermill for slitting bars of iron into rods. The rods then were passed to nailers, who made the rods into nails by giving them a point and head.
It was so successful that it was carried on by family members until 1829 and was presumed to be the first slitting mill in this area.

Striking Gold: Fuller at Fifty
Current exhibit at Fuller Art Museum until April 5, 2020.
As Fuller marks its fifty-year anniversary in 2019, we turn to gold to commemorate this milestone with Striking Gold: Fuller at Fifty in its Stone and Barstow galleries. This invitational project will explore the storied traditions, contemporary interpretations, skillful applications, and conceptual rigor of gold as an artistic material, while investigating the multitude of cultural, material, and sociopolitical associations. For the 57 selected artists, gold remains central to their work as they delve far deeper than embellishment or decorative effect. This landmark exhibition celebrates the museum’s rich past as we plan for our brilliant future—and shines a light on all things golden.
The exhibition is co-curated by Fuller Craft Museum Chief Curator of Exhibitions and Collections Beth McLaughlin and Suzanne Ramljak, an art historian, writer, curator, and former editor of Metalsmith magazine. Among the exhibition themes to be explored are avarice, vanity, consumption, environmental consequences, power, divinity, cultural and social measures, alchemy, repair/kintsugi, artifice, transformation, and the body. Exhibited works will include craft media as well as fine art mediums to fully reflect Fuller Craft’s dual histories as both a fine art institution and a craft museum.

Pictures for a Cause
Dear Neighbors,
I am an East Bridgewater resident running the Boston Marathon in April. I am part of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's 2020 Marathon Team, and have committed to raising $10,000 to support Bowdoin Street Health Center's Healthy Champions program. You may have seen me running the streets of EB on the weekends or early weekday mornings.
Your purchase of the photo will help me meet my fundraising goal. The suggested donation is $30 for 8x12's and $15 for 5x7's. Some of the proceeds will support SunnyLine 7 Hardware Store who graciously agreed to let me display my photos in their store.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Speaking Your Truth
“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”
~ Barbara De Angelis
“Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.”
~ Warren Wiersbe
“Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.” ~ James E. Faust
|
Solid, trusting, healthy relationships are based on truth.
You are not helping anyone when you don't share the pain you feel. Speak your truth. ~ Jacquie
