The Maker’s Table: Tartan and Beyond

For centuries, weaving was an essential skill of the women who settled in this area. This skill clothed their families and sometimes provided supplementary income. Today weaving is more of an art form and for speaker Marjorie Warren, her particular niche is weaving tartans.

This talk will explore the history of the tartan and current efforts in providing artifacts of the lesser known tartans and designing new tartans for various golf clubs, colleges and organizations – including the creation of the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games’ tartan.
