Astrida Schaeffer, Assistant Director-Exhibitions and Collections Manager Museum of Art, UNH, has made historical reproductions spanning seven centuries, for clients including Strawberry Banke Museum, Portsmouth, NH, Plimoth Plantation in MA, American Independence Museum, Exeter, NH, and the Pavane Renaissance Dance Ensemble of Portsmouth, working with historically accurate materials and methods. She is in the process of writing a book on late 14th century clothing. Principal of her own museum consultancy, Astrida's mannequins have displayed historical clothing throughout New England. In November 2008, a costume colloquium was organized in Florence, Italy around the work of British costume historian Janet Arnold. Astrida's presentation will include slides and behind the scenes tours of film costume studios, conservation labs, and a viewing of the burial clothes of the 16th century Florentine duke, Cosimo di Medici. The ASG UNH Historic Garment Group has worked with the Museum since 2007 focusing on cataloging garments from the University's historic Irma Bowen Textile Collection as well as exploring the sewing techniques used. We invite you to join us for an afternoon of social sewing. Materials for hand sewing will be provided as well as instructions. Join us and explore the wonder of hand sewing! All sewing enthusiasts are welcome.
