Join the Museum for a creative workshop inspired by a remarkable story of survival. Beginning in 1942, silk escape maps were standard issue to all U. S. Air Force servicemen. Hear the story and view the map given to Charles Abbott, a prisoner of war who utilized this important fabric to survive. Participants will then create a personalized textile “map” of St. Louis. This program complements the Stitching History from the Holocaust exhibit and invites reflection through craft. No embroidery experience needed. All materials provided. The workshop will be led by Quinn Gray. Charles is Quinn’s great-uncle.
