Visit with Author Deana David
2024-10-28 14:00 - 17:00 | Alfred Box of Books Library, 1 West University Street, Alfred, NY, 14802-1113, United States
Deana David of Ribbon Candy Hooking will visit the library and share her presentation, “Frost and Frost: A Textile Artist’s Journey Of Seasonal Inspiration and Technique.” Click here to register! Or call the library at 607-587-9290.

Welcome to a perfectly spiced seasonal blending of two iconic Frosts: Edward Sands Frost and Robert Frost.
Edward Sands Frost was the resourceful 19th century tin peddler who saw that women were struggling with the designing part of their hooked rugs and decided to start making stencils to help them lay out compositions and make more successful, impressive rugs that were not just functional but pleasing to look at.
Robert Frost, poet laureate of Vermont, is still one of the best-loved poets of all time. His eternally moving poems like ‘The Road Not Taken’, ‘After Apple Picking’, ‘November Guest’, and ‘Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening’ are just a few of his haunting and evocative works.
In class we will use stencils to work out compositions to illustrate a handful of Autumn poems. We will work in the style of Edward Sands Frost to create rug compositions that illustrate Robert Frost. You will learn more about composition, hear Robert Frost read many of his own poems, and come away with sketches that will make wonderful designs for your future projects.
