Living into Art: Journeys through Collage
at Booklovers' Gourmet
55 East Main Street, Webster, MA
Call 508-949-6232 for more information.

About the book: Collage, like life, is an improvisational art form. Living into Art reveals the candid and often profound thoughts of ten artists as they explore the rich and diverse ways in which the practice of collage cultivates their creativity, and spiritually engages their lives. Through a unique and vibrant group studio in Sonoma, California, these individuals are weaving a web of community while also enriching the desire for creative fulfillment.

Please feel free to forward!
