	Redwork By Judith Vadney Tuesday, October 2 This program for October is a trunk show of Redwork from the collection of Judith Vadney of Canadensis, PA.  Judith is fascinated with Redwork and its history and, since 1989, she has amassed a collection of over 100 pieces.  Redwork or "turkey work" was introduced in the US during the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.  Popular until 1930s, Redwork is enjoying a revival today.
