SUMMARY:Made To Last: Textiles of Early Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, the Connecticut Museum is celebrating its 200th birthday! We’re excited to present a series of programs that will shine a light on some of our most treasured collection items. \nIn this program\, Connecticut weaver Margaret Liljedahl will talk about modern fiber arts\, and use historic textiles from our collection to show how techniques have evolved over the years. Textile production was a critical part of the economy and culture of colonial New England\, the echoes of which can still be heard today! This interactive presentation will cover the tools and techniques used to produce textiles in Connecticut during the 17th and 18th centuries. \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org. \nTickets\n$15 General Admission\n$10 for Connecticut Museum Member levels under $150\nFree for Connecticut Museum Member levels $150 and above \nGET TICKETS\nAbout Our Speaker: Margaret Liljedahl is a West Hartford native who had her first encounter with an antique loom at a CT museum. 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.
