Learn about the technique that has evolved over thousands of years for creating illustrated ketubot, haggadot, megillot, and more. In her presentation, Amy will show us extraordinary images of these historical manuscripts from all over the world and across multiple religions, including Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism.

Amy’s newest collection of small, meditative, watercolor pieces, entitled Visual Haiku, will be making their Kolbo debut at the event. These make a great gift and add a pop of color to any wall. For a sneak peak, click here.
