Parent-Child Mug Rug Workshop with Krysten Morganti

Time: Sat, 12/10

1:30 pm -5:30 pm

Tuition fee: $70

Spend an afternoon learning a new skill and leave with some holiday gifts ready to wrap! This special workshop is open to any supervising adult and child (elementary/middle school age) team.  We will be using looms to make woven "mug rugs," coasters that will be finished on a sewing machine during our session and ready to bring home at the end of the day.  Bring some bits and bobs of yarn if you have them, or choose from our ample supplies to personalize your projects.

Note: Each registration for this class reserves one loom per team. Teams with multiple children might want to consider purchasing multiple tickets, so each child can have his or her own loom to work on. 

Instructor Krysten Morganti loves weaving and spinning with every color there is and especially enjoys the challenge of working with reclaimed materials.

Tea Burning

Time: Sun, 12/11

10:00 am  - 4:00 pm

Location: Buckman Taven

1 Bedford Street Lexington, MA 02420

On December 13th, 1773, Lexington's citizens met for a very special town meeting, where they voted to purge the town of the detested taxed tea. Following the resolve, they built a bonfire outside the meetinghouse and threw the town's supply of tea into it, echoing Reverend Jonas Clarke's words that anyone continuing to drink of buy tea was "an enemy to this town, and to this country."

Activities will be happening indoors and outdoors throughout the day, including drilling and musket firing, military music, drop-in programs about the history of tea and tea substitutes, and, of course, the tea burning itself!

In-person location: Large Meeting RoomCary Memorial Library

1874 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington

Presented by Jim Ramsey, U.S. Navy Veteran.  On October 12, 1915 Edith Cavell, a 49-year-old British nurse, was executed by a German firing squad in Brussels, Belgium, convicted of high treason for aiding in the escape of 200 British and French soldiers from German-occupied Belgium.  Edith, known as “The Florence Nightingale of Belgium”, was the director of a nursing school in Brussels when the Germans invaded Belgium in August 1914. She began working with the Belgian resistance to help Allied troops escape occupied Belgium to neutral Holland.  Her execution added to worldwide outrage against Germany, particularly in Britain, and played an important early part in the eventual erosion of American isolationism.
