Welcome to "Hmong Textile Arts" at Harding High School!
Hmong elders who are sewing experts visit the class weekly
and teach the students Hmong culture and history through
textile arts. These elders expose the students to the
textile arts tradition, just like the way they learned sewing
as young girls from their mothers in Laos.
During fall 1998, students learned cross-stitching, and
during spring
1999, they learned reverse appplique; Hmong people have used
both of these sewing techniques for centuries to embelish their
clothing and other textile items.
