SUMMARY:Textile Production in Early America | Masters Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Textile Production In Early America \nPresented by Margaret Liljedahl \nNovember 7\, 2024 \nTextile production was an important component of the early American economy\, and continues to be a career and hobby for many individuals today. This talk will focus on the techniques and tools that weavers like Noah Webster’s father would have used to produce cloth for their communities. This includes a review of common natural fiber sources\, basic fabric structures\, and design considerations. Participants will have the chance to see examples of antique fiber processing equipment and learn about how they have been used for the past 300+ years. \nTickets are available now at www.noahwebster.yapsody.com! \nAbout the Presenter: Margaret Liljedahl is a West Hartford native who had her first encounter with an antique loom at the Noah Webster House. Over the past decade\, Margaret has studied historical weaving techniques and has the privilege of working with several historical sites and museums across Connecticut and New York to get their barn looms singing again. She is an active member of the Handweavers Guild of Connecticut and is passionate about connecting antique fiber equipment with locals who still know how to use them.
