One Tireless Woman's Etforts Establish a Studio For Art By ROBERTA ROESCH , When one energetic wife and mother refuses to throw up her hands and ask 'What can one woman do?" a large commu- nity project can sometimes be the result. Certainly that was the happy result in the case <° Mrs. Ruth Goldberg, of Scarsdale, N.Y., a former teacher and a commu- nity leader who, in 1951, con- ceived the idea' for the Scars- dale Studio Workshop of which non-profit school licensed by the state of New York for the teach- ing of art to children and adults. And Mrs, Goldberg's idea for it was nurtured by years of interest in cultural and community affairs. "I grew up in. a family that was deeply interested in many phases of community activity, so similar interests rubbed off on me," Mrs. 'Goldberg told us. "In fact, my mother, now 80, is director of a senior citizens centre of 150 persons, most of whom are years her junior." ATTITUDES SOCIAL This kind of background and) ~ "bending of the twig" did much to instill social attitudes in Ruth Goldberg. So throughout her career, marriage and moth- erhood, she has devoted herself to community, cultural and educational interests. You name it and we wager she's done it. Chief among her interests, though, is the Scarsdale com- munity art project. "My idea for this began two years after our family moved to Scarsdale," Mrs. Goldberg said. "At that time, I was transporting my two daughters twice a week to the children's classes of the Museum of Mod- ern Art in New York City, and with my busy schedule." As a result, Mrs. put into action her idea for or- ganizing an art class for her daughters right in Scarsdale. Space was found in a basement. Children were signed up for the class. And a teacher came weekly from New York, Within the first year, other children's classes were formed and adult ones were added. Then, as the school sessions -|spread to other basements, a motor corps of mothers was or- ganized to transport teachers from one basement classroom to another. OFFERS 20 CLASSES Since these modest -- begin- nings, the Scarsdale Studio Workshop has grown to the point where approximately 20 classes in painting, sculpture and graphics for adults, along with varied ones for children, are available. Nearly 400 adults and chil- dren 'participate yearly in the program, and the group now rents its own spacious studio. Plus this, it has: eight well- |known artists on the faculty, as well as scholarship and appren- tice programs. Yearly exhibits are a regular feature. In its 13 years, it has become known and highly respected in art circles not only for the scope of its cirriculum and the high level of instruction but also as an example of a community non-profit art school that is self- sustaining and has never in- curred as deficit. And it all began, because one tireless woman -- instead of merely saying, '""'What can one woman do?'--put an idea into action. ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: My hus- lare not forewarned should use the trips were raising havoc). Cellist Creates Lamp Shades By ELEANOR ROSS What does an eminent musi- cian do with his limited leisure when he isn't performing, off on a concert tour, practicing or studying? Well, if he is Aldo Parisot, the famous cellist, he is likely to be at work in the well- equipped workshop of his beau- tiful home in Wilton, Conn., fashioning exquisite lamp shades, The fingers that perform feats of wizardry on the strings of his glorious "Swan" Stradi- varius are adept in fine handi- work. Creating the lamp shades that adorn his home and those of his close friends requires skill boro many hours of painstaking r. Parisot begins his one - of- a - kind "conversation piece" |shades, with six thin, unpainted panels of %4- or %-inch-thick the individual dimensions re- quired for each lamp. FANCIFUL DESIGN After drawing a fanciful de- large single initiai, the ad- dress of the recipient in ornate letters, or perhaps an elegant pattern of baroque scrollwork or leaves--he traces this onto the plywood panels, using car- bon paper beneath the original sheet of paper. With his jigsaw, Parisot then deftly cuts out each design, and, of course, the more intri- cate the pattern, the greater the challenge to his skill. When the carving process is completed, the panels are drilled with tiny holes then whip-stitched or !=:hed together with either nylon fishing line or leatherstrips, according to the effect to be achieved. The lamp shade is then lined with, colored silk or some other translucent fabric, so that. the pattern is accented by the light shining behind it. The final step is making @ specially designed top piece, which Parisot cements into the upper portion of the shade, leaving a hole for the finial at- tachment, the threaded knob or ornamental attachment which holds the shade to the lamp. Ellen Parisot assists her hus- band in tris hobby by seeking out unusual finials to top off his handiwork. She has found DIAGONAL LINES Brilliant hued diagonal plaid in orange, gold and black provides a sophisticated column of a dress for home entertaining or for dining out. The frock is by Feder-Tricosa of Paris and is of woolknit.
