Introduction to Fiber Crafts & Weaving
Description
Textile production was an essential task on the Wyckoff Farm. Join us for a brief history of traditional textile-making processes from the colonial period. Students will then experiment with different fabrics and found materials for their own woven creations.
This interactive, hands-on learning program is the perfect follow up to a Colonial Life virtual field trip or can be reserved for groups of at-home learners. Explore more complex designs and learn new skills by reserving a two part (for $140) or three part (for $210) multi-session series .
This program is intended for students grades 2 and up.

Wyckoff House Museum
The Wyckoff House Museum preserves, interprets, and operates New York City’s oldest building and its surrounding 1.5 acres of farmland. Through innovative educational and farm-based programs we build cultural and agricultural connections within our community, emphasizing immigration, family, food, and community through history. During field trips to the farmhouse, students learn about the history of the site through inquiry, exploration, and hands-on activities.
