With the help of artist-in-residence Sarah Haskell, Milton Elementary School fifth-graders this past spring constructed this four-foot by six-foot weaving that now hangs in the main hallway of MES. While the fifth-graders did most of the work, every student at the school drew a self-portrait that is part of the mosaic. The program to get Haskell was initiated by MES art teacher Emily Seigars. The weaving was constructed using strips of fabric, including wool, felt, and organza. Over a monthlong period fifth-graders worked about 10 hours each on the project. Seigars said the weaving was designed to be a celebration of the community. It is amazing! (Harrison Thorp photos)
The farm museum, a sign welcoming motorists to Milton Mills and a police car are
depicted in detail in one section of the weaving.
