Textiles have been used by many cultures for centuries. Explore textile artworks from the Carter’s collection and work on creating functional and special textile objects of your own. During this workshop, Seniors will have a chance to chat and work with local artists as they explore and create.

Seniors will have the opportunity to complete all steps required for their Textile Artist badge. All participants will receive a Carter fun patch in the mail after completing the program.
