Get ready to spin a yarn—literally—at “All Was Done by Hand: Home Production of the Nineteenth Century”, a hands-on celebration of historic textile craft at Kingston City Hall. This free event brings the past to life with weaving, spinning, quilting, embroidery, and basket-making demonstrations, plus a special “Fleece to Shawl” showcase where raw wool transforms into a woven masterpiece. Learn about spinning and quilting bees as acts of historical protest and explore the role of textile work in women’s labor, including during the lifetime of Sojourner Truth.
Celebrate the local history of textiles at Kingston City Hall this Saturday
Sat. 3/29 • 11am-4pm • Kingston City Hall, 420 Broadway
