Picture
Our February program will be a peek behind the scenes at the Conner Prairie Textile Studio.  Sue Payne’s presentation will answer the question:  What does it take to create reasonable reproductions of historic textiles?  We will view pieces from Conner Prairie’s collection, hear about the reproduction planning process, examine items produced by Conner Prairie textile staff, and listen to tales from Sue’s decades of experience working with historic textiles—she is a talented spinner of yarns!
           
Sue Payne literally grew up at Conner Prairie.  Sue recalls that she immediately felt called to work at Conner Prairie when she first visited as a child in 1965.  She volunteered for a number of years, and was hired as an interpreter at the age of 16 in 1969.  She believes her biggest contribution to Conner Prairie has been developing the youth spinning program.
           
A lifelong resident of Hamilton County, Sue is active in the local arts scene, including Nickel Plate Arts and the Hamilton County Artists Association.  Sue is a juried artist with HCAA in 3D art and photography, and currently serves on the board.   Sue has recently been recognized for her work at Conner Prairie.  In 2016 she received the prestigious Rose Award for excellence in public service from the Indiana Tourism Bureau,  She is currently nominated for the 2018 Inspire Award for her work mentoring youth and young adults.
