Join us in a Three Lives sewing circle with artist Lauryn Smith in this hands-on workshop at Geisel Library as we redress the absence of Easter Ellen Cupp, June Pattullo, and Anita Smith Hall from the history of oceanography by making garments for each woman from Smith’s dress/wave patterns, Nicolas Miller’s 3D fashion reconstructions, and archival sources. The dresses we make will be added to the Three Lives exhibition and archived in the library’s special collections.
