In the spirit of Halloween, we are excited to announce a special book signing of The Stone Witch of Florence authored by Anna Rasche, on Tuesday, October 29th at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in Room Lex 1.

Join us for a captivating evening with Anna Rasche- former SIA adjunct faculty, gemologist, jewelry historian, and co-founder of the Society for the Advancement of Social Studies to celebrate the launch of her debut novel, The Stone Witch of Florence.

Drawing inspiration from her original research on the use of gemstones in medieval medicine, Anna will engage in a thought-provoking discussion led by our director, Ann Marie Richard.

Following the conversation, enjoy a book signing and a delightful reception. The event is free to attend, and a limited inventory of books will be available for purchase.

Don’t miss this enchanting night filled with history, magic, and literary exploration!
