Edgington Studio's 2022 Oglebay Institute’s Holidays at the Mansion
For the 2022 holiday season, Edgington Studio was delighted to partner once again with The Jeweled Bird to decorate the Main Dining Room for Oglebay Institute's Holidays at the Mansion. Inspired by the year's theme, "Celebrating 150 Years of the Nutcracker," we put our own creative spin on the classic tale by combining our love of fashion and whimsical waterfowl to create "The Nutquacker."
Our display featured handcrafted garments, festive décor, and playful details that reimagined the beloved holiday story through a unique and imaginative lens. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the artistry of sewing and design while contributing to one of the Ohio Valley's favorite holiday traditions. Collaborating with another local creative business made the experience even more special, and we were honored to help bring joy to the thousands of visitors who toured the beautifully decorated Oglebay Mansion Museum throughout the season.
