To sign up for the May 1 workshops and for more information on the May 3 and June 21 classes, call Live for Life at 286-5357 and mention the ADF workshop. Those aren't any ordinary place mats, briefcases, and throws on display in the Eye Center lobby. The nettlecloth goods were imported to the United States by Chapel Hill designer Susan Inglis. Her organization, From the Mountain, works with artisans worldwide to develop natural fiber home accent products that make sophisticated use of traditional handcraft skills and improve the livelihood of their creators. Sponsored by the Eye Center Arts Program, the exhibit also features traditional Nepali bamboo baskets.
All items are for sale.
The exhibit runs through May 12. The Eye Center is looking for volunteer Touchable Art Gallery attendants who can optimally work three to four hours, one day a week. Training and free parking are provided. A new workshop in the Duke Managed Care Education Series will examine these challenges confronting providers who care for the elderly enrolled in Medicare risk HMOs. The series is timely, as managed Medicare is projected to arrive in this area on January 1, 1998.
