Chris Perry 

Artist Chris Perry’s interest in book-binding grew out of a need to create a demonstrative piece for a planned published work that incorporated many hundreds of drawings in a hand-bound book. He soon found that the process of book-binding, especially binding hand-cut pages that emulated what happens in a flip book, took over all of his studio time. The focus of the work is always water, in all its forms and effect on other things, both man-made and natural. The featured images are from Perry’s website, and are just a few examples of his excellent craftmanship. Check out his work for yourself, and you’ll find yourself getting carried away into a world of words transformed into mind bending artistry. #memberspotlight #elevatethearts #cawct #ctartists #bookbindingart #westernct

Great Hollow Photographers Club 

The Great Hollow Photographers Club was formed by members of the local community who have a shared interest in nature photography. The goals of the club are to use photography to support the educational and conservation missions of Great Hollow Nature Preserve, to improve the photographic skills of members through the sharing of knowledge and experience, and to provide a forum for members to engage in their hobby. The GHPC is open to all ages and skill levels, and both video and still photography. The club will prioritize the photography of nature, wildlife, landscapes, birds, flowers, etc., but welcomes all photographic styles and interests.
