Shakers' textile art
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Shakers was a Protestant religion that stablished 19
communal settlements in the US between the 18th and
the 19th centuries. These communities relied on their
own natural resources. Some of the settlements have become
museums as the one at Pleasant Hill KY, where you can see
a live demonstration of the Shakers' spinning and weaving
techniques with original devices from the early 19th century. |

Hello Jorge,
This is a lovely recreation of 19th century life. I like the soft lighting, and the concentration on the woman's face. TFS.
