Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
The Love, Lure and Lore of the Clothesline
It’s Not Just a Piece of Rope
This class will help revive memories of the days when laundry was hung to dry outdoors – when folks went “online” without the Internet.
You will see a display of laundry nostalgia. Share laundry poetry, personal stories, the clothesline in art and the opportunity to view clotheslines in ways you never before appreciated. We will also cover ethnic stereotypes in the laundry industry, feminism, industrialization, cultural issues and you will learn why “solar drying” should be encouraged. Let’s hang out together!
This class for those 50 and over will meet for two hours each on Thursdays, October 27 and November 3.
Instructor Anne Lawrence has been a clothesline historian and hobbyist for over 20 years.
