Drawing on Fashion: A Workshop by Artist Betsy Stone
Saturday, November 18, 2023 | 2 to 4 pm
Historic Northampton, In-person
Picture
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.

Charcoal, paper, and pencil will be provided.
Ages 14+. All levels of experience.


Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
  • Limited to 15. 
  • Sliding scale: $12-$25.

Echoes of the Future Past: An Antique Concert on Pyne Street Reimagined
Saturday, November 18, 2023 | 5 pm
BOMBYX Center for Arts and Equity, Florence, MA
Picture
During the recent renovations of the Bombyx Center for Arts and Equity in Florence, a crumpled 1873 playbill was found, announcing an ‘Antique Concerte on Pyne Street.” What was this?
 
Conveniently, such concerts are the subject of a PhD dissertation by Tim Eriksen, a local and noted musicologist and a good friend of Historic Northampton and Bombyx. Also conveniently, the music involved was great, making this thoroughly local, 19th century variety of entertainment ripe for reimagining by the Bombyx/“Pyne Street” community 150 years later. Come join the fun!
 
Presented in collaboration with Historic Northampton, Northampton Arts Council, Mass Cultural Council, Florence Congregational Church, Beit Ahavah, and the David Ruggles Center.
