July 10, 2024 - Quilling, the Boston Ballet, and Joyce Kulhawik

Quilling is the ancient art of coiling long strips of paper around a needle–or  going back to its namesake– around a quill.  In a twist of fate, Huong Wolf has ended up  on a mission to keep this tradition alive. Today she  and her husband  run the Framingham-based business, Quilling Card, a fair trade company that sells handcrafted cards–and now handcrafted art. She joins The Culture Show to talk about the history of quilling and what it means to bring it into  these times. From there, Boston Ballet, by way of a 360 dome, has created a portable portal to dance that’s making its way through Massachusetts. Ming Min Hui, the Executive Director of Boston Ballet, joins The Culture Show to talk about its upcoming appearances at Tanglewood and Woods Hole.Finally, it’s still Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, which means it’s still Jump the Shark Week on The Culture Show –  if you think we’ve jumped the shark, Culture Show contributor Joyce Kulhawik is bringing her life boat and her list of what she thinks has just gone too far.
