Book to Art | Fall 2019

nutshell

 

In celebration of our LETHAL LADIES:  THE WOMEN OF TRUE CRIME focus, we are venturing into non-fiction territory with Corinne May Botz’s The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, whose subject matter explores the life and work of master criminal investigator Frances Glessner Lee and her amazing crime dollhouses. We will be meeting to discuss the book, Glessner Lee’s work in general,  her legacy on other art forms, AND to  make paper dioramas of our own favorite crime scenes.
