The Tennessee State Museum and the Handweavers Guild of Nashville are partnering to offer a special day at the Museum, centered on historical techniques for cloth making and how they can be applied in modern artistic creations. There will be two specialized workshops led by Tennessee master-teachers Lynne Vogel (spinning) and Geri Forkner (weaving).

The public is invited to observe in the workshops for free. If an experienced weaver or spinner wishes to participate in the workshops, there is a fee and registration requirements. Two scholarships are available for Metro Davidson County school teachers. This information can be found on the museum website or by contacting Elaine Aldous, President, Handweavers Guild of Nashville at (615) 673-8710 or elainealdous@bellsouth.net. This project is funded in part by the Metro Nashville Arts Commission.
