Newton, MA
New England Chapter members,
Join us for a glimpse of Sid Berger’s spectacular decorated paper collection. Sid and his wife Michele Cloonan have been building their treasury for decades— a day will hardly be enough to absorb it all. The collection includes a sample dating from 740 from Japan, proto-papers such as papyrus and parchment, a prodigious assortment of marbled papers, including Japanese marbling antecedent to Western marbling, and much more. He also has a library of approximately 2,500 books on the subject. This event will also be an opportunity to celebrate the holidays and catch up with fellow New England Chapter members. A light brunch will be served, and we will be have a potluck lunch.
This event will be limited to 20 people- be sure to register soon as spots will fill up quickly. New England Chapter members will have priority in reservations. Directions will be sent directly to registrants.
