Handmade Craft Demonstration and Sale
December 8 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Erich and Janice Steinhagen bring their 18th century craft techniques all the way from Connecticut for a two-day holiday season residency as they demonstrate redware pottery production and the fiber art of spinning in our Revere Room. Erich will be throwing pots on the wheel while Janice spins sheep’s wool or flax into yarn. Finished products will be available for sale!
While the crafters share their techniques on the ground floor of our Visitor Center, Dave Neiman will provide an 18th and 19th century Advent soundtrack in the second floor exhibit space, playing seasonal tunes on the Hammered Dulcimer that would have been enjoyed by the Reveres and the generations of folks who followed them in the North End.
Erich and Janice will also be demonstrating their crafts on Saturday, December 7th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, accompanied with music by R.P. Hale on the harpsichord.
