More Exciting Programs Coming Your Way!
APRIL 13th - 7 PM via Zoom
Program Summary:
How does fabric help us understand history—and how does it quietly shape the stories we see on screen? Nationally recognized textile historian Rabbit Goody will explore how the weave, weight, color, and texture of cloth reveal the daily lives, technologies, and economies of earlier centuries, and how her Cherry Valley mill recreates historically accurate textiles for museums, historic homes, and select film productions. Drawing on decades of scholarship and hands-on expertise with restored early American looms, Goody shows how authentic fabrics bring depth and credibility to period storytelling, proving that something as ordinary as cloth can carry extraordinary historical meaning.
