Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets Takoma welcomes Lauren Rader to present their new book "Studio Stories: Illuminating Our Lives Through Art."
An artist and art educator, Rader has worked in media ranging from clay and stone to oils and pastels. She is equally open and innovative in her thinking about the creative process, and her new book is both a meditation on creativity and a guide to activating the imagination in daily life. With powerful stories gleaned from both her own experience and from that of her students, she shows readers the surprising places self-expression may take them and the differences it can make.
