Pennsylvania Hands

“Pennsylvania Hands” is Sally Wiener Grotta’s  visual celebration of those individuals who keep alive the traditional crafts that built our state’s dynamically diverse culture and established the underpinnings of our present-day society. In this ongoing project, she is creating narrative portraits of people who use their hands in traditional ways, making functional objects that are, today, typically done by machines.

Exhibits of the acclaimed “Pennsylvania Hands” photo project by Sally Wiener Grotta will be on display at the library,  September 1-28, 2010.

On Tuesday evening, September 28, 2010, at 6:30pm,  Sally Wiener Grotta will lead a slideshow discussion about “Pennsylvania Hands,” sharing stories about the remarkable people she’s encountered through the project. The slideshow will include additional photos of artisans at work. Sally will also answer questions about the project and about photography, in general.
