February 23, 2024

BRICK TOWNSHIP –  For centuries, people in New Jersey have turned out a stunning array of textiles and woven goods. Please join us as an educator from the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts (METC) presents “Narrative Threads: New Jersey Quilts & Textiles” at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch, 6:30 PM Monday, March 18.

The discussion will feature 18th- and 19th-Century tools and artifacts from the Madison museum’s robust collection that tell the tales of people who crafted goods as decorative as they were functional, whose techniques continued through succeeding generations.

Take an up-close look at historic quilts, woven goods, and lace pieces. Handle and explore complex textile materials and tools from METC’s extensive collection.
