NEQM retains the right to cancel class due to under-enrollment Quilts 'N Kids School Programs The New England Quilt Museum preserves, interprets and celebrates American quilting past and present. Museum tours and hands-on activities make visits more meaningful to students and foster an understanding of the history, design, mathematics and artistry of quilts. Quilts and quiltmaking are readily integrated into all curriculum areas and provide a tactile and visual dimension to many themes. Print, fill out and mail the request form below to the museum and a staff member will call you to confirm or re-schedule and to discuss the planning visit for the teachers. Teacher's orientation visit is free of charge to prepare classroom activities and preview written materials which are planned for third to sixth graders.
Additional preparation is suggested for other groups.
Students will be given passes for a return visit with their families. One adult for each 10 students, please. An experinced quilter works at the school to teach sewing skills and designing of a quilt. The class determines the theme to become the subject of the quilt which can be social studies, science, art or math related. Visits to the Museum are an integral part of the project.
