About the event

Let the Dead Teach the Living: The Use of Hair in Historic Mourning Practices

In this evocative presentation, Katie Biddle Martin of Spooky Bitch Antiques delves into the fascinating tradition of human hair mourning art and jewelry, tracing its evolution across time. Guests will have the rare opportunity to explore antique pieces showcasing a variety of intricate techniques, view selections from Katie’s teaching assemblage, and examine related objects from the Haggin Museum’s collection.
