October & November Artist of the Month: Doris Larese
Former Friends of the Southington Library president Doris Larese is our Artist of the Month for October and November.
Doris's needlework and quilting spans decades—she learned to sew at Hamden High School during World War II! She learned to sew her own clothes to save money and then got involved in quilting and stitching just for fun.
Doris considered her quilting mentor, Anne Norton, a teacher extraordinaire. Anne had taught many people in Southington and performed embroidery demonstrations for Ethan Allen all over the United States. A sample of Anne's work is included in the exhibit. View this exhibit in our gallery space during regular library hours (Monday-Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) through November 16th.
