On Saturday, July 21st at 2 pm the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts presents an interactive historic spinning demonstration with spinner Claire Marinello.
How
would Rumpelstiltskin have spun straw into gold? Spinning may seem
magical, but in reality, it’s what put the clothes on your
back in Early America. Join
us for an interactive living history demonstration of the
historical process that creates thread. Watch Claire in
action on her castle spinning wheel.
Claire
Marinello
has been spinning since she was 13-years-old. Her interest
stems from a chance encounter with a spinner in the lobby
of a Vermont department store. During that meeting she
thought spinning “looked like magic.” As a spinner, she
herself now creates magic through spinning demonstrations.
Marinello has presented programs for both the Montville
and Wayne Historical Societies. As a history major
she has studied the influence of textile manufacture
through history.
Space
is limited. Advance
registration recommended, call 973-377-2982 x14. $7 for Non-members
& $4 for Members (includes supplies and Museum
admission).
