Clara Ford
The Clara Ford Foundation collaborates with the Hammonds House Museum to produce the Clara Ford Quilt Lecture series. The lecture series is intended to provide an educational forum for those interested in the art of quilting. It is made possible by a grant from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Lectures are planned twice yearly. Some will be held in conjunction with local quilt shows, and some will stand alone. All will be interesting, educational and fun.
Check this site regularly for announcements of future lectures. Email ovbrant@gmail.com with questions or for more information.
