Sewing Circles began

The Sewing Circles began last Friday with much storytelling, much darning of socks and a few jeans patched.


More than anything, the pleasure was in the shared time together, linking ourselves to the history of making do.

Don't forget the opening reception of ars domestica, Friday May 13, 7-10pm.

More Mending Circles:
Daytime circles: May 16, 17,18 & 23, noon -5pm
Evening Circle: May 20, 5pm

Ceramic Art of Libbie Soffer

They are not yet installed and not all can be seen here, but ... as we began installing on Tuesday May 3, Anonymous Under Shelter appeared,
as did Tools of the Trade.
These will both be installed in the windows.

Shirts in Waiting

On day one of the installation, the sun is shining brightly...finally! And the shirts await their solution. Libbie told me that the "unmended" shirts began when she was keeping her mother company through months of medical waiting.
