Instructor: Gwen Spivey is an 18th Century Living Historian whose passion for sharing history has led to a decade of presentations in various local, state, and national historic sites across the Southeast. From portraying a spy at Colonial Williamsburg’s "Under the Redcoat" to public school presentations and previously penning a weekly column for The Edgefield Advertiser entitled "Time Traveler," she has engaged visitors, readers, and students alike in the ways of our colonial ancestors. Description: This class will include a lecture on the most common textiles available for the period, from fiber to finished fabric. It also features a PowerPoint presentation, a traveling trunk of reproductions of commonly used historic items, and a hands-on portion to enhance participants' experience.
