Hands-on Heritage: Crazy Quilting

  • Beachville District Museum 584367 Beachville Road Beachville, ON Canada (map)

Explore the intricate world of textile craft, guests will be guided through the museum, focusing on the upstairs sewing room and the historical significance of handcraft and domestic textile production. Following the tour, participants will gather in the Program Room for an immersive 2 hour workshop on the art of Victorian "crazy quilt" making and get an inside look at some of the quilts in our collection. Led by a seasoned textile artist, attendees will be supplied with all the necessary materials to create a potholder measuring approx 8x8 inches. Through the gentle rhythm of hand-sewing, they will channel the resourcefulness and sustainability inherent in this timeless art form. Guests will also learn about historic methods of using resources sustainably and wisely.

This experience requires a minimum of 2 registrants in order to run and is subject to cancellation if minimum is not met. A 100% refund or transfer of registration to an alternate date will be offered in the event of cancellation by BDM.
