Historic Northampton’s clothing and accessories collection of 7,500 items is considered one of the premiere collections in the United States. In addition to garments, it includes shoes, hats, purses, canes, and other accessories, mostly from local people.
In this special drawing workshop, participants will get a chance to sketch articles from Historic Northampton’s collection that have rarely—if ever—been on display. Artist Betsy Stone will provide guidance on how to render details like a garment’s drape, fold, and form. She will explain the special features that make each dress representative of its period.
