The town's Tourism & Beautification Committee periodically holds barn quilt workshops and painting sessions. Workshops provide participants with an Overview as well as Hands-On Activities, covering SUPPLIES and BASIC STEPS (click words to open handouts). Recently workshops were held in Norwood and Hannawa Falls. Slideshows of photos from 3-day Basic 'How-to' Workshop & Painting Sessions are available HERE for Norwood in April 2016 and HERE for South Colton in October 2016.
Other groups and communities in St. Lawrence County and the Adirondack North Country region of New York State also are part of the growing barn quilt movement in the United States. Click HERE to see photos taken from 2014 through March 2016. A video produced for Traditional Arts in Upstate New (TAUNY) by Emily Baker, a Clarkson University student videographer, based upon filming in Colton, Canton, and Hammond during 2015 is now available via YouTube HERE.
