Create a Floor Cloth for Your ‘Cabin’
Saturday, July 31, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Meet in Seitz Family Pavilion, 1/8 mile north of 14321
Road 7L, Pandora
Does your house need a creative accent? Are you interested in history? Floorcloths, one of the earliest forms of modern floorcovering, were readily found in many eighteenth century homes in Great Britain and North America. The main floor of Red Fox Cabin at The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm is carpeted with a floorcloth. On Saturday, July 31 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., you can create a floorcloth for your own ‘cabin’ in the Seitz Family Pavilion at The Quarry Farm. Registered participants will make a 24” x 48” canvas floor cloth using stencils. The finished piece could also be used as a tablerunner. Participants are welcome to bring a sack lunch to eat in the pavilion. Preregistration is required by emailing your response to thequarryfarm@gmail.com or calling 419-384-7195 by Monday, July 19 at 12 p.m.. A $12 fee for materials is due the day of the workshop.
