Adam Hodges-LeClaire
Raised in Massachusetts, I’ve been immensely passionate about the late 18th century since I was very young. More recently, for 4 years I worked as an apprentice tailor and museum educator with the Fort Ticonderoga Association, before embarking on a tall ship named the Hermione for its maiden voyage to America from France. For me, studying and making clothing is both a means to empathize with and learn from the past (by wearing it 24/7 throughout these projects), and to carry this across viscerally to those who may not have studied or enjoyed history previously.
Current Offerings:
Environmentalism & ‘Going Green’ in the 18th century
Making the Boston Tea Party Global & Controversial (again)
‘Putting History on a Pedestal?’ – Case-studies in the Monuments and Public Memory of the American Revolution
