Just in time for Thanksgiving, Kaatscast: The Catskills Podcast visits the unique International Museum of Dinnerware Design in Kingston, New York. Founded by Margaret Carney in 2012, the museum recently found its new home, offering dedicated exhibitions that celebrate the art and history of dining.
This episode highlights the museum’s two inaugural exhibits, ‘Dining Grails,’ featuring renowned designers like Eva Zeisel; and ‘Dining Memories,’ showcasing a diverse array of dinnerware in nostalgic vignettes.
And for an ‘interactive’ experience like no other, visitors can step into the Instagram-ready ‘a la carte gallery’ and try their hand at the famous tablecloth trick.
Brett Barry hosts and produces Kaatscast from Silver Hollow Audio, in the heart of the Catskills.
