Create a Crankie Workshops
Crankies are a centuries-old art form in which an illustrated scroll - evocative of the Torah - is wound across spools set in a viewing window. Crankies can be as small as a matchbox or as large as a refrigerator! </p><p>In collaboration with KlezKanada, Chutzpah! has commissioned three visual artists to create large-scale crankies to accompany the new Yiddish music of the Where Do Stories Come From project. Now it's your turn! Using prompts from the inspiring Yiddish poetry of the project, or stories from your life, participants will be guided by Festival artists Ava Berkson and Cesario Lavery through the process of creating your very own crankie. </p><p>All ages and abilities are welcome, and all materials will be supplied. Festival Video Director Flick Harrison will be on hand to help you record the story of your crankie. You can opt to share your creation in our online gallery. </p><p>Co-hosted by the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery This program is supported by the JCC Association's Making Music Happen grant
