Description

Women of One Fabric Workshop

September 15 - 16, 2012

 

 Eileen Fisher Company Headquarters

Irvington, NY

On the weekend of September 15th, Tuesday’s Children will partner with Women Without Borders for Women of One Fabric, a two-day workshop in which women will use art to express the commonalities of loss due to terrorism across national and religious boundaries.

Hosted by the Eileen Fisher Leadership Institute at the Company Headquarters in Irvington, NY, a group of women impacted by 9/11 will include pieces of a personal belonging of their loved one in the creation of beautiful sheets of hand-made paper. After the paper has dried, participants will embellish the paper under the guidance of a local artist to depict their emotions of loss, and hope for a future without violent extremism. During the workshop there will be opportunity to foster conversation, mentorship, and outreach opportunities, and subsequently the exhibit will be displayed in Atlanta, Georgia, Washington D.C., New York, and around the world.  All US participants will be invited to attend the New York show's launch and one spokeswoman from the workshop will have the opportunity to join the SAVE team at the international launch, along with one woman from each of the global workshops.
