Renowned silhouette artist Clay Rice will cut personal silhouettes and sign copies of his book The Lonely Shadow  (Joggling Board, 2009, hb., $19.95) on Thurs., Oct. 22, 3 – 6 pm.

Taught by his grandfather Carew, Clay Rice is a 21st century folk artist and a Lowcountry treasure. Watching him cut a child’s silhouette in five minutes has been called performance art in itself. His national touring schedule keeps him on the road often, cutting more than 10,000 children’s silhouettes a year, and so his events here in Charleston are rare.

We expect slots to fill up quickly, to book an appointment for a personal silhouette, call us at 843.722.2666.

Michael Plumides will sign copies of his novel Kill the Music ($20), Sat. Aug. 1, 5 – 7 pm.  Listen to him discuss his new book on a WNCW podcast.
