The Ladies of Refined Taste & Friends are pleased to announce our Fifth Annual Hive Clothing Workshop Season. The Hive will be held on one Sunday of each month from January to March from 1pm–4pm at Minute Man National Historic Park in Concord, MA. We're thrilled about this year's schedule and have tried to make sure there's something for everyone. This year, our first Hive will be a mini-symposium at the MMNHP main visitor center in Lincoln (topic: “Why We Wear What We Wear”). The second and third Hives, at the Noah Brooks Tavern on Rte. 2A, will include sewing bees, clinics, and project series. Please check back for any changes in venue and/or any cancellations due to weather. As before, the Sunday Hive sessions are free of charge to reenactors and Park volunteers—please note some do require pre-registration and a few have a fee for materials—and there are also specialized fee-based Saturday sessions available.
