Permanent jewelry is a piece of jewelry (typically a bracelet, anklet, or necklace) that does not have a traditional clasp, so it cannot be easily removed. Instead, the ends of the jewelry are soldered together while you're wearing them, creating a seamless look.

The Names
By Florence Knapp
Friday, June 26
2:00pm-4:00pm
Free
Join some of your fellow Fiber Artists in discussing a book that maybe you listen to as you are stitching!
The extraordinary novel that asks: Can a name change the course of a life?
In the wake of a catastrophic storm, Cora sets off with her nine-year-old daughter, Maia, to register her son's birth. Her husband, Gordon, respected in the community but a controlling presence at home, intends for her to follow a long-standing family tradition and name the baby after him. But when faced with the decision, Cora hesitates...
Spanning thirty-five years, what follows are three alternate and alternating versions of their lives, shaped by Cora’s last-minute choice of name. In richly layered prose,The Names explores the painful ripple effects of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.
Through a prism of what-ifs, Florence Knapp invites us to consider the "one . . . precious life" we are given. Full of hope, this is the story of three names, three versions of a life, and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It is the story of one family and love’s endless capacity to endure, no matter what fate has in store.
The book’s brilliantly imaginative structure, propulsive storytelling, and emotional power are certain to make The Names a modern classic.
Please read the book BEFORE the discussion.
