A NEW GRANT SERIES: A FIBER FRENZY


It's Not Too Late to Join!!!


Ojibwe Decorative Beading: 4 - days 9:00am-10:30am, Weds, June 22 – July 13, 2022

The Ojibwe (sometimes called Chippewa) have a rich tradition of using glass seed beads to decorate their clothing and other personal items. It is undergoing a revival amongst native peoples and expanding worldwide & has a rich history and opportunity for creative expression.

Colonial Pennsylvania Deutsch Handtuch (handtowel) Embroidery: 5 days - 9:00am-10:30am, Weds, July 20 – Aug 17, 2022

This was a typical art form for German settlers and took the form of a long decorative towel that was created as a decor panel which was hung on the door of the parlour. They were mainly produced by young, inmarried women in anticipation of marriage, which enabled them to learn embroidery stitches to reproduce folk art motifs of the Pennsylvania Germans. This project will be approximately 15"W x 22"L.


This program is supported by White Rose Senior Center and a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency, through its regional arts funding partnerships. State government funding for the arts depends upon an annual appropriation by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. PCA funding is administered in this region by StartSomething of the Cultural Alliance of York County, a PCA Regional Partner. German Handtuch.
