Join us on November 22nd from 10 AM to 1 PM for the PA German Yarn Star Workshop at the Berks History Center. Back by popular demand, under the expert guidance of BHC's Education Curator, Vicky Heffner, participants will delve into this unique textile craft, a tradition that hails from post-Civil War southeastern Pennsylvania. This workshop is a fantastic opportunity to explore the resourcefulness and creativity inherent in PA German culture.
The PA German Yarn Star, a testament to the thriftiness of the Dutch, involves using scraps of cloth, small lengths of yarn, and a reusable tin star. This hands-on workshop will take you through the fascinating process of creating these beautiful yarn stars, highlighting how everyday materials can be transformed into stunning works of art. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a curious beginner, this workshop welcomes all skill levels. You'll leave with your very own yarn star and a newfound appreciation for this charming PA German tradition.
This workshop not only provides a creative outlet but also offers a glimpse into the cultural history of Berks County. Don't miss the chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts and enjoy a morning of crafting and camaraderie. The cost for this workshop is $30 for BHC Members and $40 for Non-Members. Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early.
Off-street parking is available in the BHC's parking lot, located at 160 Spring Street, Reading, PA 19601.
