Just a quick note to tell you how VERY much I enjoyed the Tuesday “workshop” at the Arts Council gallery. I can imagine how much time and work went into developing the clothing displays and the talks — they were terrific. All of the presenters were so knowledgeable, informative and fun – the afternoon bubbled with the enthusiasm and love of each one’s particular area of interest. Looking forward to another Tuesday with you all.”

Join us for four unique and individual Historical Clothing Talks, with examples of period pieces, led by Clothing Historian Dr. Debbie Henderson, with help from clothing experts Bette Kelley and Bill White. Explore real clothing from the 1890s through the 1970s, both male and female outfits. Enjoy tea and cakes, and share family photos of friends and relatives wearing what they loved.
At the first session, there was an amazing array of period clothing on display: hats, undergarments, clothes for both sexes and all ages. Deb, Bette and Bill all are fountains of knowledge about their own areas of expertise, which combine to give attendees a fascinating perspective on clothing of the past.
