SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: The Art and Science of Appraising Needlework :: Laurie S. Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Attend The Art and Science of Appraising Needlework with Laurie S. Kelly to gain insights into how needlework is valued by professional appraisers. The presentation reviews the process for appraising personal property\, the valuation methods commonly applied to needlework and the “keys” to concluding value. \nSunday\, April 19 via Zoom \n\n\n \n4:30 pm Newfoundland Time :: 4 pm Atlantic Time :: 3 pm Eastern Time :: 2 pm Central Time :: 1 pm Mountain Time :: noon Pacific Time \n \nMembers\, log in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for Laurie’s presentation without charge. The Speaker Series events are free for members!\nNot a member yet? You can purchase a seat for this Zoom webinar with Laurie S. Kelly. Please note that in order to provide registrants with the webinar information\, sales for this webinar end on Friday\, April 18\, at noon Eastern time. \nThe main discussion focuses on the “keys” to appraising needlework\, including identifying characteristics of value and the use of value ranking to pinpoint value. The discussion is highly participatory\, and we’ll walk through short case studies that illustrate how the appraiser applies both connoisseurship (“art”) and technical methods (“science”) to conclude value. You’ll be surprised to learn that you already have insight into the factors that affect the value of needlework. Finally\, the discussion includes specific factors that affect value\, including condition and provenance. The huge variety in needlework forms\, eras\, and regional variations makes every appraisal assignment a unique challenge. \nLaurie S. Kelly is a Certified Needle Arts Appraiser with training through the American Needlepoint Guild and the State University of New York (Purchase) in conjunction with the America Society of Appraisers. Laurie has fulfilled and maintains the requirements for the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice for Personal Property\, Gems & Jewelry and Technical Specialties with The Appraisal Foundation. In addition\, she is a member of the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada/Association canadienne de broderie\, the American Needlepoint Guild\, the Embroiderers’ Guild of America\, National Academy of Needlearts and the National Embroidery Teachers Association.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: Rasha Abu Ramadan :: Threads of Her Story: Women\, Identity and the Art of Tatreez
DESCRIPTION:Rasha Abu Ramadan has practiced Palestinian tatreez (meaning “embroidery\,” in Arabic) since she was a young girl\, embodying a deep connection to her cultural heritage. \n  \nNovember 16\, 2025 :: Zoom Webinar \n4:30 pm Newfoundland Time :: 4 pm Atlantic Time :: 3 pm Eastern Time :: 2 pm Central Time :: 1 pm Mountain Time :: noon Pacific Time \n \n\nMembers\, please log in to My EAC/Mon ACB to access the registration code for Zoom. \n\n \n  \nIf you’re not a member yet\, you can purchase a virtual seat.\n \nWith the support of CPSA London\, Rasha established the Palestinian Tatreez Club in London\, Ontario\, where she held weekly sessions to teach others the art of tatreez and pass down its cultural and historical significance. \nRasha led the “Threads of Diaspora” project\, collaborating with the Canadian Palestinian Social Association in London and the Canada Palestine Cultural Association in Edmonton on the London edition of the initial project. This tatreez community initiative resulted in the creation of 120 pieces of collective artwork to be added to the Edmonton tapestry\, involving the participation of 22 women from diverse cultural backgrounds. It worked closely with skilled Palestinian designers in the community to celebrate and preserve this traditional craft. This beautiful tapestry has been featured on CBC. \nRasha continues to support charitable causes\, notably raising funds for organizations such as Glia\, a medical solidarity organization that empowers low-resource communities to build sustainable\, locally driven healthcare projects. \nMost recently\, she was invited as a guest lecturer at King’s College\, where she presented on Palestinian tatreez and its significance as a form of resistance\, sharing its stories and legacy with a wider audience. \nRasha is a proud Palestinian-Canadian living in London\, Ontario.

DESCRIPTION:Documenting Historical Needlework Skills to Preserve Cultural Heritage Before it is Too Late\nSunday\, February 22\, 2026 :: Zoom Webinar \n6:00 pm Newfoundland Time :: 5:30 pm Atlantic Time :: 4:30 pm Eastern Time :: 3:30 pm Central Time :: 2:30 pm Mountain Time :: 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time \n \nIn this talk\, Yvette will explain the urgency to document historical needlework skills before they die out. In many places around the world\, the cultural custodians of traditional embroidery styles are disappearing. At the same time\, younger generations within these cultural groups often have different priorities and do not take the opportunity to learn skills from their elders before those elders are no longer with them. We are at a point where it will soon be too late to preserve many historical and regional needlework styles. \n
