Crimes & Crafts Book & Activity Club

𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦
Calling all mystery buffs and creative minds — Crimes & Craft Book Club returns this September with a twisty, art-infused thriller: The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro. Dive into the shadowy world of stolen masterpieces, forgery, and secrets hidden beneath the paint.

As always, we’ll pair our literary sleuthing with a hands-on craft inspired by the story — think textured layers, artistic deception, and a splash of creative flair. Bring your favorite beverage (no hard liquor) and get ready to uncover what’s real, what’s fake, and what’s fabulously fun.

Almost twenty-five years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—still the largest unsolved art theft in history—one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist. Claire Roth has entered into a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner by agreeing to forge the Degas in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece—the very one that had been hanging at the Gardner for one hundred years—may itself be a forgery. The Art Forger is a thrilling novel about seeing—and not seeing—the secrets that lie beneath the canvas.
