Peabody Museum Trip: Harvard University

Last week, we took a trip up to Boston to visit Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Anthropology. We were able to get have many varying cultural artifacts pulled from the depths of the collections for our viewing pleasure. Specifically, we looked at objects fabricated from agricultural fibers and materials similar to our own. I was inspired by many different native cultures' weaving and basketry techniques, as they vary drastically from region to region. I was also extremely interested in the felting and blanket making techniques shown and see many new potential future explorations for our materials on the horizon.
