SUMMARY:Hand-Spinning Fiber in New England: Past & Present with Bonny Smith
DESCRIPTION:“Our Untold Stories”\nObserving the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution\nThis lecture by Chair of the Wilmington Historical Commission\, Bonny Smith\, provides a concise history of the art of spinning fiber\, both natural and plant-based\, knitting\, and crocheting items for apparel and household purposes. Although spinning fiber has been practiced globally for thousands of years\, this craft holds particular significance in colonial domestic culture\, where it played a vital role in sustaining households. \nPrograms open to the public with a $5 entry fee. Free for all members of the Arlington Historical Society. \nImage courtesy of the Arlington Historical Society. Flax spinning wheel in the Jason Russell House.
