Wellesley artist Abby Glassenberg, whose specialty is making animal sculptures and soft toys, has released a book called The Artful Bird: Feathered Friends to Make and Sew.
She’ll be having a book launch event at Essentia in Wellesley Square on Feb. 5 from 3-5 where several dozen of her works will be available for sale. Nut and seed inspired treats will be available as refreshments. More details here:
