Around the world and throughout time, cultures have enhanced their worlds by decorating their clothing. On Monday, June 12, join a presentation by Adina Salmansohn looking at our human relationship with color on fabric and fiber over time. Her presentation will include a smattering of history, chemistry, psychology, and the aesthetic value systems of our culture. With explanation and visuals, Adina will examine the raw materials, the processes, and the results of dyeing fibers.

About the Presenter
Adina Salmansohn is a trombone playing Culinarian and high school teacher who learned to knit at the age of 8. As a Historic Interpreter at Historic Hudson Valley in the 1980’s, she was taught to spin yarn, in order to demonstrate for the public. She loved it, and it opened a rabbit hole that she is still falling down. Spinning, dyeing, knitting, cross-stitching, wool appliqueing, and quilting are some of the adventures of fiber crafting she enjoys. Her other passion is sharing her knowledge and excitement with others. She hopes to make a few fiber-converts this summer!
