PLEASE NOTE:
February 15th (Tuesday), 9:30am- 1:00pm: We will travel to Historic Richmond Town and have a workshop called "Fiber to Thread". | This workshop focuses on pre-industrial textile production as students experience for themselves the stages of making flax into linen thread and sheep's wool into woolen thread. Students always enjoy breaking flax, carding wool, and trying out the drop-spindle. A visit to some of the historic buildings allows them to consider the uses and value of cloth in early American communities. |
Curriculum Themes Addressed:
· People depending on and modifying the physical environment
· Challenge of meeting needs and wants
· People using human, capital, and natural resources
· Colonial and revolutionary periods
