About this Event

We wear them everyday, but did you know that clothes are rich with information about identity, society, politics and culture?

This workshop invites you to look more closely at garments, and guide you through object-based analysis methods used by historians and museum curators to better understand the stories hidden in the stitches of clothing.

Bring your own garments to learn more, find a new-to-you piece from The Wardrobe, or enjoy the Worn Stories handling collection featuring vintage clothing dating back to the Victorian era.
