Brookside Farm Museum

Tending the Story: The Fabric of Our Lives."&nbsp; 19th century New England frothed over with cloth, from the madness for merino sheep to King Cotton spinning &amp; weaving through&nbsp;manufacturies like the satinett mill on Pattagansett Lake.&nbsp; Yet fabric from this era was carefully conserved, meticulously mended, and skillfully pieced, leaving us valuable lessons in sustainability &amp; creativity.&nbsp; Costumed Educators from the Dirty Blue Shirts will explore the textiles available to the Avery household &amp; their complex origin stories, discuss how stitches can become acts of craftivism &amp; self-expression, and practice a variety of making &amp; mending skills. This textile-themed living history event is set in the 1850s/1860s. Drop by at any time between 5:30 and 8:30 PM.&nbsp; Refreshments will be provided.&nbsp; A $10 donation is suggested to support Brookside.
