This summer’s BuildaBridge Institute offered our Director an amazing opportunity to serve as faculty for a Methods Lab mini-course in Altered Book-Making. Six seniors from Caring Heart Manor shared their stories with us, and beautifully re-created books to make their stories tangible. Over the course of four sessions, the senior participants wrote their stories and collaged and painted their way through their very own book. BuildaBridge Institute participants shadowed Jesse White as she created a safe space for personal and creative exploration. Our final celebration was rich with the vibrancy of the stories and the books and everyone present was touched and honored by what the seniors shared. We’d like to thank both the participating seniors and staff of Caring Heart Manor, and the BuildaBridge Institute participants for making this program a great success!
