Freedom Quilt Trivet Workshop

Underground Railroad Quilts or Freedom Quilts were used to send coded messages to enslaved people on their journey to freedom. Each quilt block represented a different message such as “Safe House Ahead” or “Follow the North Star.  We will be making Freedom quilt inspired trivets using a mono-print technique. Painting our design on a piece of paper and rolling it onto clay, transferring the image to the clay and then cutting out our trivets.
