If you didn’t get away for yourself this year, you can get the second best thing and purchase yourself a SAW Journal/book. It is a gorgeous book made up of contributions from teachers and attendees of Squam Art Workshops, designed to share the experience of getting a way from your day to day life and diving into creativity and inspiration. I have only attended SAW as the photographer, wandering around documenting the overall essence of the environment and doing portrait sessions. I haven’t experienced SAW as a student and so I can’t wait to get my copy so I can see the workshops through that perspective.
Here is a little description of the journal:
“We understand that not everyone can travel to us, so we are bringing the
magic to you!
There is a lovely spirit of connection and collaboration that has emerged
from the gatherings at Squam Art Workshops. However, the journal is not
about the workshops themselves. Rather, it is an exploration of the
journeys we take, how we can find friendship in the most unexpected
places, and the restorative power of natural beauty– but above all, it is
about what happens when you honor your creativity.
The journal is filled with spectacular imagery from beloved photographers
including Denise Andrade, Jen Gray, Susannah Conway, Jeanine Caron, and
Béatrice Peltre, among many others. You can look forward to 120 pages of
terrific essays and wide ranging conversations about navigating the ups
and downs of life with humor, grace, or when all else fails, retail
therapy. There’s a pop quiz, a kicky craft project, home tours, and so
much more including an actual journal within the book itself.
Our hope for this 8″ x 8″ volume is that it will easily tuck into your bag
and accompany you everywhere… on the subway, in the cab, on the train,
in the airport, on holiday, etc. We hope it fills your day with
inspiration, fresh perspective and belly laughs. We trust you’re going to
like it very much as we created it just for you.”
