Step on It: Braided Rugs Then and Now |
Free and Open to the public |
The staff has been working with members of the Rocky Mountain Rug Braiders Guild in organizing an exhibition incorporating rugs from the museum’s collection and rugs made by members of the Guild. We are excited to bring this traditional craft to Littleton audiences. Since Colonial times, braided rugs have had a long tradition in the U. S. Popularity has waxed and waned through the years. These rugs are beautiful, some utilitarian, others whimsical, and all expertly crafted. Members of the Guild will be demonstrating the art in the gallery and they will be conducting a series of workshops as well. Some of the rugs displayed in the Fine Arts Gallery will be for sale and other versions will be sold in the museum store. |
