Julia Tomaro, instructor
Thinking about the Holocaust elicits many different feelings. With this art experience people will be encouraged to capture their feelings about this subject and its effect on us today, using threads of cloth to link past to future, creating a small piece of jewelry. Beads with their hollow circular opening are thought of as story tellers in many cultures. Along with the woven fibers they can relate what we feel about the past to bring this piece to fruition. Inside will be tucked a secret wish to share the artist’s hopes, fears, dreams or heartfelt sincerity. Participants may bring a scrap of cloth that might have meaning to them or perhaps some beads that are favored, although these supplies will be available during the class. Embroidery stitches can also embellish this piece, as well as ribbons and yarns.
