“Weaving Your History, A Fabric Time Capsule”
List of suggestions that can be woven into the
Fabric Time Capsule
To all students, teachers and staff
Please bring to school an item(s) that represents who you are, what is important to you at this time in your life to weave into the Fabric Time Capsule. The item can be of sentimental value to weave into the tapestry. A 300-year-old loom is used during the weaving residency.
The items are a permanent part of the Tapestry. You do not get them back but are able to see them in the Tapestry everyday in school.
Teachers/Staff and Family members: Encourage your students, as often as possible, how we would love to see their items woven into this wonderful wall-hanging. They are welcome to get ideas from the list below as well as choose items that are not on this list. Teachers please gather items ahead of time and store in your classroom. Your involvement is a crucial part of the preparation.
