Astrida Schaeffer (www.schaefferarts.com) has been making reproduction historical clothing since 1986 and custom museum mannequins since 1998. Her mannequins have appeared in museums across New England and have been published in several books as well as Costume in Performance, 2007 Historic Fashions Calendar. She has sewn for Strawbery Banke Museum, Plimoth Plantation, the American Independence Museum, and the Pavane Renaissance Dance Ensemble, among others, and is in the process of writing a book on 14th century clothing. As soon as that's finished she has plans for another on Victorian embellishment.
This series of classes will be held on Saturday, November 12 and 19 from 1-4 p.m. at The Sewing Tree in Dover, NH.
