Loss is entwined with the human condition. We will come together with artifacts of our loved ones and create a keepsake with them. Your creations may be practical or abstract, hand-sewn or glued, so no sewing is needed.
Some artifact examples: Textiles - shirts, hats, ties. Ephemera - photos, letters, papers.Suggested Possibilities: Functional - eyeglass case, fabric belt or scarf, bookmark, toss pillow cover. Non-functional - collage, wall hanging, shadow box. These are suggestions, your ideas are welcome.
Come to class with your artifacts and/or ephemera. In the first session we will discuss options and plan for materials you will need to bring to the remaining sessions for working on your keepsake.

Diane Parker, who majored in history once upon a time, is still passionate about it. While living in what she thought was a mundane town in the Midwest, she discovered its history to be not so mundane. The 1920s were anything but mundane. Bonnie and Clyde had one of their major shootouts there. That led Diane to delve into more history of the decade called The Roaring Twenties.
