Description
We are delighted to announce that the brillant art historian Katy Hessel will be joining us for our final event for 2025.
It’s such a treat to welcome Katy back here to celebrate her new release How to Live an Artful Life. This gorgeous book is the ideal gift for Christmas; something to treasure and turn to whether you are an aspiring artist or simply looking for ways to make every day creatively inspiring. Using quotes gathered from Katy’s many brilliant interviews with eminent artists and photographers, including Lubaina Himid, Nan Goldin and Marina Abramovic, this book provides a stimulating thought for every day of the year; a book of words to cherish and to galvanise you.
It’s a real pleasure to welcome Charlie Porter back to the store for this event. Charlie will be interviewing Katy and lending his own creative insights to the conversation. Charlie Porter is the author of What Artists Wear, Bring No Clothes and the recent novel Novia Scotia House.
Katy Hessel is the author of The Story of Art without Men, the international bestseller and Waterstones Book of the Year 2022. She runs @thegreatwomenartists on Instagram, hosts The Great Women Artists Podcast, and is a columnist for the Guardian.
Ticket includes a glass of wine or a soft drink
