Lori Weitzner presents: ‘Handmade in the Modern World’ and ‘Ode to Color’ book signing
About this Event

In our face-paced, technology-dependent society, a handmade product has the power to forge connection between communities around the world and touch the soul of the consumer. The challenge facing contemporary designers today is how to work with artisans to preserve ancient traditions and techniques while creating something truly innovative, appealing, and relevant to today’s market. Lori Weitzner will focus on this timely subject in her lecture "Forward Thinking: Handmade Products for the Modern World." Drawing on her own experiences as a textile designer and business owner, Weitzner will explore the collaborative process of developing a  handmade product for the modern world as she travels the globe.

Lori Weitzner has been internationally known for her contributions to the world of textiles and wallcoverings for more than thirty years. She is the author of Ode to Color: The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design, published by Harper Collins, and lectures frequently on design and wellbeing. Ode to Color conveys how color has a huge impact upon our decision making, our moods, and our tastes and she beautifully illustrates how to use these color worlds as a tool to enhance all our lives. After the presentation, signed copies of her book will be available for purchase.


Join us at the Merchandise Mart on Wednesday 12-1:30pm for her lecture and book signing.
