This December at In-town Gallery, Eleanor Goodson and Jan Lamoreaux present a show of their creations in jewelry and fabric that catches the eye. The show will be on display through Dec. 31.
Ms. Goodson, one of the Chattanooga area’s master jewelers, studied under Jean Stark, a founder of the Kulick-Stark Institute of the New York School of Ancient Jewelry and also under John Cogswell of SUNY, formerly of Parsons School of Design.
“I work in my mountain-top studio creating custom-designed jewelry with precious metals and semi-precious stones, s aid Ms. Goodson. My work includes distinctive woven chains, semi-precious stone necklaces, and one-of-a-kind cast pieces of jewelry.” For this show her designs are eclectic, using beads, animal motifs and even mah jong tiles.

From a distance, the American decorator Sheila Bridges’ ‘Harlem Toile de Jouy’ looks like any other historic toile, with its colourful ground, delicate pastoral vignettes and 18th-century costume. Close up, though, it becomes clear that the design is something special. A pattern that embraces the codes of this traditional French design, first popularised in the late 18th-century, but whose figures – at joyful leisure dancing, picnicking and playing double dutch – are African American.
‘As an African American living in Harlem, I have always been intrigued and inspired by the historical narrative of the decorative arts, especially traditional French toile with its pastoral motifs from the late 1700s,’ Sheila says. ‘I’m entertained by the stories these patterns tell and the questions they sometimes raise. But after searching for many years for the perfect toile for my own home, I decided that it quite simply didn’t exist.’
