Before she built her Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner was a world traveler who documented her trips in beautifully detailed travel albums. These curated, collaged albums served as memories of meaningful experiences.
At this Saturday Open Studio, we invite you to take inspiration from Isabella’s travel albums and capture your own memories by creating a zine: a do-it-yourself magazine or book created through printmaking, collage, and other paper-based arts.
