Beth Josephs. COURTESY THE CHURCH
The Church in Sag Harbor welcomes local makers Nicole Delma and Beth Josephs for this month’s Knowledge Friday lecture on September 16 at 6 p.m.
With backgrounds in textile creation and design, Delma and Josephs are keen to the many techniques and styles associated with the craft. From the production of local wool with the Long Island Yarn project, to dying of yarn with local vegetation, they oversee the entire process from fiber to finished piece. The Church’s co-founder, April Gornik, will join Delma and Josephs posing questions about their experience as local crafters and makers.
Founder of MindOffline, Delma has made it a point to bring creativity and craft back into everyday life. Offering a wide selection of locally sourced handcrafted goods, as well as hosting workshops, MindOffline has become a creative outlet for all.
Active in fiber crafts including dyeing and knitting, Josephs organizes a knitting circle hosting at The Church. Meeting twice a week on the mezzanine under the Ernesto Neto sculpture, Josephs and the knitting circle have become an icon within the exhibition.
Their work and dedication to craft and creativity carry on and honor the legacy of Sag Harbor as a maker’s village.
Tickets for Knowledge Friday are $5. The Church is at 48 Madison Street, Sag Harbor. For more information visit thechurchsagharbor.org.
