Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library presents Hooks and Eyes: Craft Tools and How they Work
January 31, 2012, May 15, 2012
Did you know that the craft of crochet might only be about 200 years old? No trace crochet has been found in written sources or archaeological sites prior to about 1800!
Did you know that the intricate work of bobbin lace is done using only two basic motions or “stitches”?
Did you know that the simple sewing needle was once so prized that women had customized needle cases made to protect them?
Hooks and Eyes explores the weird and wonderful world of craft tools, their history, and the fantastic results that a craftsperson can achieve through their use. The crafts of weaving, bobbin lace, embroidery, beading, spinning, and more are showcased.
The exhibit will run through mid-May 2012.
