Seat Weaving Workshop
April 18 | 9:30 AM–2:30 PM
Cost: $70
Learn the traditional skill of seat weaving in this hands-on workshop using natural reed and a classic herringbone pattern. Participants will weave a functional seat onto a wooden stool while learning the fundamentals of layout, tension, and finishing techniques.
The completed stool can be used as a child’s seat, footrest, plant stand, or decorative accent, making this a practical and rewarding project. All supplies are included, and no prior seat-weaving experience is required. Instruction will be provided throughout the day to support both beginners and those looking to expand their handcraft skills.
Participants will leave with a completed woven seat and a solid introduction to this enduring furniture-making tradition.

Quiet Valley Fibershed
2026-06-25 10:00 - 16:00
The Quiet Valley Fibershed is a youth-led initiative dedicated to exploring the history and practice of fiber arts. Participants learn traditional skills such as wool processing, spinning, weaving, knitting, sewing, and other textile crafts while gaining a deeper understanding of the connection between agriculture and clothing production.
Throughout the summer, members of the Fibershed work together to develop their skills, conduct research, and share their knowledge with visitors through demonstrations and special projects. By following the journey of fiber from farm to finished product, participants help preserve traditional textile arts and highlight the important role fibers played in everyday life on nineteenth-century Pennsylvania farms.
Visitors are invited to stop by the Fibershed on Thursdays to meet our young fiber artists, learn about historic textile production, and see traditional fiber crafts in action.
Date: Thursdays between June 20 – September 7, 2026
Time: During regular museum hours, Tuesday–Saturday, 10:00am–4:00pm
