Uncommon Threads: Textiles of the 16th & 17th Centuries
Wednesday, February 08 2012, 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Learn about how fabric impacted daily life in 16th and 17th century England, from the poorest pauper to the wealthiest Lord. As the 16th century saw King Henry VIII break away from the Catholic Church, there was a shift in demand of embroidered church vestments to more lavish clothing and household furnishings. With more people able to afford such luxury items, they became an outward representation of one’s status in society. Join Theodora von Hohenstaufen Noll in part two of this series.

Price:               $5/adult or $12 for all 3 lectures                       $3/student or $7 for all 3 lectures
