Event Rewind: Arts and Crafts in the Pacific Northwest
Posted by wastatelib on March 7, 2008
Over 50 folks joined us last Thursday night to hear author and Program Director for Historic Seattle Lawrence Kreisman present on his latest book, “The Arts and Crafts Movement in the Pacific Northwest.” The appreciative audience got an intimate look at some of the artisans and events that shaped this important movement, as well as view a stunning slideshow featuring pictures of arts and crafts architecture, furniture, jewelry, glass, and pottery. Lawrence was also kind enough to answer questions and sign copies of his book!
And before Lawrence’s presentation, State Librarian Jan Walsh presented this quarter’s Washington Reads. Winter 2008’s theme is “Of the Beach and the Sea.” You can locate these books in our library catalog, or you can browse the selections on LibraryThing.
A very special thanks to Lawrence and everyone who attended and made this event so memorable! Pictures from the night can be found on Flickr.
