Community Connect: Chennai embraces felting as the new mindful art trend
Looking to take up a new hobby this weekend? Try your hand at felting, a trend that's becoming a hit across age groups. From soft wool tufts to soulful creations, a felting workshop held recently in Nungambakkam drew craft lovers, curious minds, and wellness seekers alike. The event showed how Chennai is slowly embracing mindful art forms as both therapy and community-building practice. 'Chennaiites have always shown great interest in exploring new mediums and are genuinely curious to learn. That makes them a wonderful audience for workshops like felting,' shares Reha Mutha, the curator of the workshop and an artist. The participants are usually 'a mix of everyone,' she says and adds, 'Some people join to incorporate felting into their professional work, while others come simply to enjoy a creative weekend with loved ones. We also see participants who are eager to meet likeminded individuals. Overall, it's a fun yet calming activity that many choose to unwind and recharge over the weekend' What is felting? Felting is a textile art technique where wool fibres are matted and pressed together using heat, moisture, and agitation to create a dense fabric. It's a creative, hands-on activity that is said to encourage mindfulness, reduce stress, and promote fine motor skills and artistic expression. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

We often use felt bags as the base, which work really well for the artwork,' says Reha. She adds that material costs typically range from Rs 800–1,000, depending on the type of materials chosen. 'Felting is storytelling through texture' 'From purely technical or professional skill sessions to mindful, hobby-based ones, Chennai's workshop culture is evolving. Felting is unique because it doesn't just stimulate creativity — it relaxes your mind and builds patience. It's a rare combination of art and mindfulness,' says Suhasini, a school teacher. 'Chennai has always had a rich cultural fabric, and now, it's weaving wellness into that tapestry through such creative workshops,' says Ananya, an architecture student. 'Felting is like storytelling through texture. It brings people of all ages together to share, create, and heal,' she adds.

Rose Girone, believed to be oldest living Holocaust survivor, dies aged 113
Rose Girone, believed to be the oldest living Holocaust survivor and a strong advocate for sharing survivors' stories, has died. She was 113. She died Monday in New York, according to the Claims Conference, a New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. 'She just was a terrific lady,' her daughter, Reha Benicassa, said by phone Friday. 'Nothing was too hard. She wasn't fearful. She was an adventurous person. She did well.' Girone was born on 13 January 1912 in Janow, Poland. Her family moved to Hamburg, Germany, when she was six, she said in a filmed interview in 1996 with the USC Shoah Foundation. When asked by the interviewer if she had any particular career plans before Adolf Hitler, she said that he 'came in 1933 and then it was over for everybody'. Girone was one of about 245,000 survivors still living across more than 90 countries, according to a study released by the Claims Conference last year. Their numbers are quickly dwindling, as most are very old and often of frail health, with a median age of 86. 'Rose was an example of fortitude but now we are obligated to carry on in her memory,' Greg Schneider, Claims Conference executive vice-president, said in a statement Thursday. 'The lessons of the Holocaust must not die with those who endured the suffering.' Six million European Jews and people from other minorities were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust. 'This passing reminds us of the urgency of sharing the lessons of the Holocaust while we still have first-hand witnesses with us,' Schneider said. 'The Holocaust is slipping from memory to history, and its lessons are too important, especially in today's world, to be forgotten.' Girone married Julius Mannheim in 1937 through an arranged marriage. She was nine months pregnant living in Breslau, which is now Wroclaw, Poland, when Nazis arrived to take Mannheim to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Their family had two cars, so she asked her husband to leave his keys. She said she remembers one Nazi saying: 'Take that woman also.' The other Nazi responded: 'She's pregnant, leave her alone.' The next morning her father-in-law was also taken, and she was left alone with their housekeeper. After her daughter Reha was born in 1938, Girone was able to secure Chinese visas from relatives in London and secure her husband's release. In Genoa, Italy, when Reha was only six months old, they boarded a ship to Japan-occupied Shanghai with little more than clothing and some linens. Her husband first made money through buying and selling secondhand goods. He saved up to buy a car and started a taxi business, while Girone knitted and sold sweaters. But in 1941, Jewish refugees were rounded up into a ghetto. The family of three were forced to cram into a bathroom in a house while roaches and bed bugs crawled through their belongings. Her father-in-law came just before the second world war started, but fell ill and died. They had to wait in line for food and lived under the rule of a ruthless Japanese man who called himself 'King of the Jews.' 'They did really horrible things to people,' Girone said of the Japanese military trucks that patrolled the streets. 'One of our friends got killed because he wouldn't move fast enough.' Information about the war in Europe only circulated in the form of rumors as British radios were not allowed. When the war was over, they began receiving mail from Girone's mother, grandmother and other relatives in the US. With their help, they boarded a ship to San Francisco in 1947 with only $80, which Girone hid inside buttons. They arrived in New York City in 1947. She later started a knitting store with the help of her mother. 'Her theories were always, 'Don't sweat the small stuff,' and 'anything you can fix with money is not a problem,'' her daughter said. 'She just had a great head on her shoulders.' Also in New York, Girone was reunited with her brother, who went to France for school and ended up getting his US citizenship by joining the army. When she went to the airport to pick him up in New York, it was her first time seeing him in 17 years. Girone later divorced Mannheim. In 1968, she met Jack Girone, the same day her granddaughter was born. By the next year they were married. He died in 1990. When asked in 1996 for the message she would like to leave for her daughter and granddaughter, she said: 'Nothing is so very bad that something good shouldn't come out of it. No matter what it is.'
