Girdle Book by
Sherrill Hunnibell
 
Altered Book Talk & Reception
Friday, May 18 ~ 7:00pm 

Books are magical. They nourish the body, mind and spirit as few other objects can. But even books that have been discarded can invite new creative directions. 

Simple techniques such as cutting, folding, pasting, painting and the adding of found objects can transform discarded books into art objects known as "altered books." Voila! A second chance at amazing!

It's a great way to relax...restore your energy...heal your inner spirit...and have lots of fun!  Artist Sherrill Hunnibell presents various approaches to this art form.
