  Life: Working by Hand and Discovering the Life You Are Meant to Live\n“W
 hen we stop knowing how to use our hands to meet our most basic needs—we 
 become estranged from nature\, from the value and meaning of things\, and f
 rom the empathy that we need to care for one another and our world.”\n—
 Melanie Falick\, Making a Life: Working by Hand and Discovering the Life Yo
 u Are Meant to Live\nFall Series: Making a Life\nThis fall we introduce our
  latest theme\, Linens and Laces\, focusing on the long lineage of weaving
 \, spinning\, and stitching practiced by the women who came before us. We
 ’ll be reading Making a Life: Working by Hand and Discovering the Life Y
 ou Are Meant to Live by Melanie Falick as we write our stories and weave 
 together the threads of our own lives. We will explore the question of why 
 working with our hands ”remains vital and valuable in the modern world.
 ” The answer is found deep in our bones.\nOur featured artists on the wal
 ls will be our newest Zora Neale Hurston Fellows\, Noelle Barber and Deshon
 na “Sunflower Soul” Buchanan\, and we will draw inspiration from their 
 work in photography and fiber arts.\nThis 12-week series will be inspired b
 y our year-long theme of Linens and Laces\, offered Wednesday evenings or 
 Tuesday mornings. Join us for this deep dive into what it means to make a l
 ife\, working by hand and discovering\, through our writing and craft-makin
 g\, the life you are meant to live.\nThe year will culminate in an optional
  international writing retreat to Portugal\, where we'll continue our explo
 ration of Making a Life through Portugal's rich textile traditions\, the ma
 rkets of Lisbon\, and the creative practice of making by hand.\nRegister so
 on for this series—seats are limited! This program is open to anyone who 
 identifies as a woman. Class size is intentionally kept small to ensure per
 sonalized attention.\nFacilitator: Jennifer Wolfe\, Executive Director\nWe
  hope to see you!\n“That's the thing with handmade items. They still have
  the person's mark on them\, and when you hold them\, you feel less alone.
 ” ―Aimee Bender\, The Color Master: Stories\nScholarships Available\nDo
  not let finances get in the way of this experience. We have scholarship as
 sistance available through the generosity of our donors\, fundraising effor
 ts\, and grant support. We'd love to have you join us.\n
