In the Revolutionary Style

The Museum of Early Trades & Crafts invites visitors to discover what was "IN" and what was "OUT" in 18th Century fashion with clothing historian Pat Sanftner on Wednesday, May 15th at 7pm.

Explore the style changes during the 1700's and the fashion mavens that made them happen.  Complete with period dress and costume changes, Pat will reveal the truly fascinating history of a subject we all love to get in to. 

Pat Sanftner has her Master of fine arts from NYU School of the Arts, where she studied Theatrical design, in particular, costume design.  For the last thirty years she has made her living working on Broadway in television and film; for such shows as “The Sopranos” and “One Life to Live” For more than a decade, she has been a professor at Marymount Manhattan College where she teaches the next generation of young designers.  In addition she has curated a number of exhibitions in two of Morristown’s museums, Morris County Historical Society, at Acorn Hall, and Schuyler-Hamilton House; where she is currently the director.  Her dedication to her community and to history has manifested itself by being the Regent of the Morristown DAR twice and a member of the Washington Assn, and Morristown Historical Society.  In addition she is a nationally recognized doll artist and an avid crafter.
