Event Next Week: The Arts and Crafts Movement in the PNW
Posted by wastatelib on February 21, 2008
We’re very excited about our upcoming evening event next week! Author and Program Director for Historic Seattle Lawrence Kreisman will be joining us next Thursday night, February 28, to discuss “The Arts and Crafts Movement in the Pacific Northwest.” You’ll definitely want to join us to find how local artisans contributed to the Arts and Crafts heritage through architecture, furniture making, stained glass, and jewelry. Doors open at 6 pm on Thursday, so come early and get the best seat!
Speaking of artisans, the staff here has developed a new handout celebrating Brooding Heron and Jawbone Presses, the presses of Washington State Poet Laureate Samuel Green. This flyer describes the materials available at the Washington State Library associated with both of these important Washington presses, so be sure to check it out.
