Table of Contents
Award-winning author Mark Binder is set to visit Richmond on Saturday, March 23, at the Church of the Holy Comforter at 4819 Monument Avenue. The event, titled “Cracked Pots – and other stories,” will feature a blend of reading, storytelling, conversation, and a little bit of music. It is being produced by the Henrico-based Storytellers Channel’s Hearts Afire Storytelling Series and in conjunction with the NCECA Conference in Richmond.
“We need good stories,” said Binder, an award-winning author. “We need to get together in the company of other people to share stories that are interesting, fun, funny and perhaps inspiring.”
Binder has earned numerous accolades for his work, including the National Jewish Book Award for Family Literature, the Audie Audiobook Award for Best Original Work, and the Parents’ Choice Gold Award for audio storytelling. Binder’s love for pottery and ceramics stems from his wife, Heather Binder, who is a ceramic artist.
“I’m a pottery widower,” said Binder with a laugh. “My wife is a ceramic artist, so I’m coming with her to Richmond. She’s going to talk about pots, and I’m going to tell stories about them. Her work inspired me, and I’m looking forward to sharing that.”
Tickets are $25 apiece and available online.
