On Saturday morning, I gave a presentation at the BAR School of Instruction on Interpretation. The slides are above, and the presentation (with my notes) is here.
The handouts and bibliography I used in thinking about Bridget Connor an be found on the Interpretation 101 page.
Kitty, this is so helpful! You are actor-playwright-dramaturg-producer-costumer and hell knows only how many other hats are stacked under that cute cap! Helping the public understand how much goes into what might look like dressing up in a costume really draws those of us who have little knowledge of how life was lived in our country, and I applaud your diligence and imagination!
On another note, thanks for the shout out about sewfisticated–I am hoping to find myself in the Framingham store next month, if my travel plans allow!
Beet,

Nancy,
You’re very welcome!
The Sew Fisticated Remnant Table is a must-visit. Wool and silk, delicious! I’d also recommend Artee Fabrics; I know the Pawtucket store, but there are others, including one in Hudson, MA. The Quaker dress is made from an Artee remnant table piece (4 yards, 48 inches, phew! just made it!)
Kitty
Oh golly I miss RI!!!
Thanks, but I don’t think I’ll get to swing thru Pawtucket this trip!
