Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
The Love, Lure and Lore of the Clothesline
OLLI Study Group (50+)
What does a clothesline hobbyist collect, and why? This fun presentation and display of laundry nostalgia will revive memories of simpler times when laundry was always hung to dry outdoors - when folks went "online" without the internet! We'll touch on washday history and sociological issues of ethnic stereotypes in the laundry industry, feminism, and the demise of the clothesline as automatic dryers emerged. We'll learn why "solar drying" is the way to go, especially in today's eco-conscious world. There will be a video, laundry poetry, personal stories, and lots of sharing. Let's hang out together! Instructor: Anne Lawrence.
