Master Weaver Artisan Rabbit Goody will lecture on the work of her weaving studio, Thistle Hill Weavers.

Master Weaver Artisan, Rabbit Goody, will lecture on the work of her weaving studio, Thistle Hill Weavers, a small mill modeled after the trade shops of the 19th century. Ms. Goody has been in the weaving trade for over 35 yearsas a hand weaver, as a museum educator, and as a weaver and designer in her own small weaving mill. Her study of historic textiles and history of technology combine to allow her to weave reproductions using traditional methods and transitional technology. You can see the work of Thistle Hill Weavers at many historic sites around the country, including George Washington’s Mount Vernon; Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello; The Henry Ford Museum; Harper’s Ferry National Park, Harper’s Ferry West Virginia; Martin Van Buren’s home in Kinderhook, NY, and Valley Forge National Historic Park, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Thistle Hill also weaves for the film industry and has been a major contributor to over 50 films including John Adams, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Beowulf and the movie Lincoln.
