LIBRARY TO HOST PROGRAM ON LOCAL HISTORY OF CRAFTS

The Tompkins County Public Library will host Karey Solomon for a presentation about the local history of textile crafting, Wednesday, January 12 at 4:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Solomon, a needlework scholar and owner of Graceful Arts Fiber Studio in Burdett, will use slides, drawings and physical examples to illustrate the way Upstate New York residents historically used locally-sourced materials to create textiles for clothing and decoration.

"When people in a moderately self-sufficient circumstances need warmth, comfort and beauty, they often create these for themselves.,” Solomon said. “ In rural areas of Upstate NY, this historically meant spending part of our long winters crafting textiles using materials on- hand or easily obtained. "

Solomon teaches knitting, crochet and tatting and has spent the past 20 years designing and publishing tatting patterns.
