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.
