What makes a place feel like home? For many immigrant families in East Central Indiana, it’s the textiles they carried, created, and passed down through generations—woven, embroidered, or stitched with stories.

Local metalsmith Jessica Calderwood has transformed those stories into striking enameled copper plates for her new exhibition, Threads of Home. During this discussion, Jessica will sit down with several of the very individuals whose histories and traditions shaped her work. Together, they’ll share the memories behind the imagery—an evening of conversation, artistry, and celebration of the cultural heritage that continues to shape our community.

Pre-registration is encouraged. Limited walk-in seating may be available, so please call ahead.
