Textile Identification Day with Rabbit Goody
Textile Identification Day with Rabbit Goody
In-person registration is sold out. Virtual tickets still available.
Weaver and textile historian, Rabbit Goody, will explore the various ways textiles were made during an important transitional period, from 1750 to 1830, when home weavers, specialized weavers, and early mechanized weaving were all in play producing textiles for furnishings and clothing. Through images of her study collection, Goody will help us to recognize and understand the differences between homespun/home woven, fancy, and powered weaving production.
