CURATOR-LED TOUR OF NICHE KNITS: HOSIERY TEXTILES & FASHION | GASTON ART |FREE

“You aren’t going to want to miss this,” Alicyn Wiedrich, Gaston County Museum’s curator and our tour guide says: “The exhibit delves into the history of textiles, while at the same time explores fashion and creativity."

Here's a chance to learn about our region's past - did you know Charlotte and this region were mostly milltowns at the turn of the last century?
Plus for the fashionistas, trace fashion and creativity for hosiery and legwear products.

Niche Knits: The Interlooped History of Hosiery Textiles and Fashion features hosiery mills from Gaston County, exploration of different natural and synthetic fibers, fashion trends of stockings through time, and much more. The Gaston County Museum exhibit will include multiple interactive components including a circular knitting station, touch station, and a life-size paper doll closet.

A don't miss exhibit plus a chance to visit historic Belmont - a great way to spend a fall Saturday morning.
