On Saturday, November 23rd at 2pm The Hannah Project will host a Kids Crafting Time with Miriam Alfonso of Alfonsina Inter-Sewing Studio of Mill Valley. In a recent interview, Miriam said, “You see that people are thirsty for exposure to craft making.” Miriam's mother was an artist and a tailor. Growing up in Argentina, Miriam learned how to do all these things at home and in school. “We don't have these things in school anymore; now everyone wants just math and English and science without the humanities. Art is something that makes you more complete, more balanced. I do think it gives you some sensitivity that we need for humankind.” Miriam is preparing a holiday theme for the Hannah Project Kids Crafting event at Barnes & Noble Corte Madera. Children will be able to make fabric greeting cards, felt animals, and puppets for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Chanukah. Materials will be provided.
Please help support The Hannah Project by shopping at Barnes & Noble, 313 Corte Madera Town Center, on November 23-29, 2013, with a Bookfair voucher or shopping online at www.bn.com/bookfairs.
