Shirley Waxman, contemporary fiber artist, invites us into her studio to show us some of the artifacts that she has collected from around the Jewish world. She will also share her original artwork, especially those that she completed during the course of the pandemic. Due to the size of the space, this event is limited to 25 participants. Presented by the Arts Task Force of the Adult Education Committee.
Shirley Waxman is an accomplished needlewoman and Judaic folklorist. Shirley creates wearable art and functional ceremonial objects for synagogue and home. Her Judaic collection includes pieced and painted challah covers, wall hangings, kippot, tallitot, chuppot, and Torah mantles. Her work has been selected for many shows including in the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia PA; “ Her philosophy comes from a folklore background– teach others and you will learn; express what is meaningful for people and hopefully they will understand and feel joy from your work.
Space is limited to 25 participants. Register below.
