The Art of Collecting

May 14th, 7:00pm. The Art of Collecting

LECTURE | With Ned Lazaro at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum

What drives someone to seek out a two-hundred-year-old sampler—and what does that impulse tell us about who we are? Join textile historian Ned Lazaro, Associate Curator of Textiles and Costumes at The Wadsworth Atheneum and former curator of textiles at Historic Deerfield for a moderated discussion on the history of collecting schoolgirl samplers and other forms of needlepoint in the United States.
