Join us on June 11, 2016 at 2 PM as we welcome Pamela A. Parmal, Chair of Textile and Fashion Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for a free lecture on "Embroidery and Economic Opportunity in Early Federal Period America.” Don’t miss this fascinating look at how women’s embroidery drove global trade and provided opportunities for women to earn money. As the American Revolution ended, new opportunities for economic development were created for craftsmen and for craftswomen. Join Pamela A. Parmal, a leading authority on historical needlework, as she discusses how women used their skills as accomplished embroiderers to generate business and trade in the early 1800s.
