Monthly Meeting: “The American Metallic Fabric Company: 100 years of Wire Weaving on Cape Cod”

September 3 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Our monthly guild meetings are now hybrid! Join us by Zoom (link in members’ section) or in Studio C at NPCC.

Tonight’s guest is Sue McDowell, presenting on “The American Metallic Fabric Company: 100 years of Wire Weaving on Cape Cod.”

Sue is the descendent of Roger G. Edwards, Sr., who arrived on Cape Cod, MA in 1933 to take on the management of the American Metallic Fabric Company. She will provide an overview of the wire weaving enterprise that thrived on Cape Cod from the 1880’s to the 1990’s, covering the history of the business and sharing anecdotes (and a few artifacts) of growing up around massive industrial looms and the talented machinists who kept them running.
