Mending Walls Book Signing
with Hamilton Glass and Kat Jones
Tells the story of Mending Walls through pictures captured by our photographers,
Brenda Soque and Kat Jones. Brenda and Kat captured the first
to the final stroke of paint laid on the walls by our Mending Walls artists, watch each
mural come to life from beginning to end. The Conversation side will share the stories
of the murals through interviews of our Mending Walls artist. This is an intimate look
into the project through our artists’ perspectives. They will share what inspired them and
stories about the process and progress of each wall and story of their healing journey
though Mending Walls and their partnerships.
We are thrilled to present a book signing event at Summer Breeze with Hamilton Glass
and Kat Jones. Meet the authors and get your copy personally signed. Limited copies
will be available for purchase at the event, so purchase your copy now.
