Textile Learning Center (TLC)
Our ongoing hands-on fun place for children-of-all-ages helps us tell the story of textiles in many ways. Read stories in our Polynesian-style reading house from our well-stocked library. Visit our dress-up area loaded with accessories, jewelry, and masks. Try your hand at fiber arts by weaving on our various looms, or spinning with drop spindles. Play at our large, newly acquired doll house, our puppet theater, and activity tables, themed to complement the Museum’s special changing exhibit. For our current special exhibit on quilts, on TLC theme is “Life’s a QUILTED Beach.” Make and decorate sunglasses, visors, beach bags, and flip flop key chains. Make miniature beach blankets that serve as bingo cards for Beach Blanket Bingo. Try your hand at making story quilt squares and designer quilt square mug rugs. Quilt pattern templates abound for all your decorating needs! Also see on display our commemorative quilt dedicated those affected by 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Check out our mathematical quilts and puzzles, too. The TLC is open during regular Museum hours and is included with admission.
