WHAT: Explore The Textile Museum as a family during this ongoing program series. In this session, learn how people around the world communicate through fashion. Participants will visit stations where they will learn what their clothes communicate about textiles (Knit or weave? Natural or synthetic? Dyed or Applied?). They will identify the components of their own clothes and examine the function of different kinds of clothing for comfort, protection, warmth and other needs. Finally, they will create their own outfit by cutting out and applying fabric to paper fashion templates. This program is free with no reservations required.
