| "The Creative Quest" Book by Bernice Schachter Dona Meilach, author of eighty-six "How-To" books on arts and crafts, made this comment about "The Creative Quest": "Bernice has done a remarkable, and splendid, job of defining, providing examples and ideas for spearheading creativity. Throughout, she introduces the reader to artists whose works are worth further study. The in-depth research into the thinking of creative artists and writers is thought provoking and inspirational. The book is a must for teachers and for everyone who may need help in discovering their own creativity." Bernice Schachter, M.A. is a graduate of Goddard College in Vermont, holding a Master of Arts in Sculpture and Art History. A post-graduate program at California State University was taken at Northridge in Museum Practices. She taught sculpture at The Village in Van Nuys, California, for 25 years and during 23 summers, directed stone carving workshops in Pietrasanta, Italy. In 1996, she was awarded the Carducci Cultural Medal by the Mayor of Pietrasanta for her contribution of encouraging people from other countries to discover and enjoy Italian culture and art. Bernice's sculptures are displayed in art galleries in Los Angeles, the Museum in Pietrasanta, and in private collections. Bernice gives lectures and programs on art, sculpture, creativity, and at retreats and seminars and plans to continue these activities in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. As a writer, she has completed the book "A Memoir of a Friendship, Masks of My Muse." She has written several screen plays one of which was purchased by Twentieth Century Fox.

| The Stone Carvers - Book/DVD We recently read a fantastically heart-warming book about the Italian-American master stone carvers who spent decades creating the sculptures that adorn the Washington National Cathedral.....and with the permission of the author, Marjorie Hunt, are now offering it to you.  In 1984 Ms. Hunt and her collaborator, Paul Wagner, produced an award-winning video which includes interviews with some of the carvers. Although the book has many beautiful photographs, there’s nothing quite like hearing the carvers’ words from their own mouths. Excerpted from the book: "You cut the stone and all of a sudden you see something grow. The more you work, the better it comes out. You feel good inside. You work, it gets brilliant, you see it move. I don’t know, it fills you with some kind of emotion...such a sense of satisfaction" - Roger Morigi, Stone Carver. We invite you into the wondrous world of stone carving as seen through the eyes of these extraordinary men. The DVD or video is each priced at $29.95, We are sure you’ll be inspired by the story of these creative men and their unique work. |
