FSGS ~ Stitching Together Family History: Finding Women in the Textile Arts with C. Ann Staley
February 15 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST
Sometimes women hid themselves well! Let’s turn to the records of the textile arts. Our women ancestors were, for the most part, practical, so the textile arts were perfect for them, although at the time most of them didn’t think of themselves as creating art. Did you have an ancestress who was a lace maker, spinner, yarn preparer, winder, or mill worker? We will explore some of the records left behind in their homes, companies, training schools, and more.
