Saturday, July 25: Speak up, Speak out – Crafting Our Voices
Craft your way through history this summer at Gunston Hall! This Summer Saturdays program explores how people have used fiber arts and crafts to make their voices heard—from the homespun movement of the Revolution to women’s suffrage protests and coded messaging during the World Wars. Join us and our community partners to discover how people have “crafted” their voices over the past 250 years. Try wool spinning, knit or weave your own “codes,” create a button for a cause you care about, and take home a pattern to continue crafting your voice. Enjoy music and snacks while you create!
