2 - 4 p.m.
Early European Traders supplied immigrants to the English Colonies in America with glass beads so small they were called “seed beads.” Beads were used to continue their tradition of decorating clothing, small handbags and personal items. The traditions continued into the Civil War era with patterns readily available in women’s magazines such as Godey’s Lady’s Book and Peterson’s Magazine. For example, women were able to create decorated protective covers for pocket watches and pen-wipes for wiping ink pens after use.
Participants can choose from a variety of Civil War designs and colored glass beads to embroider onto a 12” x 12” fabric to decorate a bag or clothing, or use as a table centerpiece or framed wall hanging.
