Description

Craft Bar: Love Corita
Thursday, February 3
Join us for the opening night of the vibrant exhibition E is for Everyone: Celebrating Sister Corita and a special Corita-themed Craft Bar.

In celebration of Sister Corita—the legendary radical 60s nun, teacher, activist, Pop-Artist—this CRAFT BAR and the opening reception converge in a Corita-themed Valentine project and opening party.

Join the San Francisco Center for the Book in letterpress printing stationary, and use custom rubber stamps to embellish notecards and envelopes with Corita's iconic love imagery. Plus, live music by local heart-throbs, Magic Magic Roses.

Letter press kindly provided by San Francisco Center for the Book and stationary provided by Hello Lucky. Drinks provided by Trumer Pils.

Don't forget to take inspiration from the gallery and Museum gift-shop while you explore the creative process.

Craft Bar is free for this month only!




Every first Thursday of the month the Museum of Craft and Folk Art on Yerba Buena Lane is proud to present CRAFT BAR with ETSY LABS.

CRAFT BAR is an innovative Museum of Craft and Folk Art public program which connects the crafting community to the museum’s educational and curatorial mission by creating a vibrant and dynamic afterhours collective crafting environment. The love of making and the desire to socialize are brought together under the MOCFA artistic programming umbrella @ CRAFT BAR.

Featuring an original, easy to follow, craft project designed to guide and encourage creativity, CRAFT BAR allows the participant to create a handmade take-away from a museum gallery setting. Activities are led by visiting artists or resident crafters, who also demonstrate the projects live online in the Virtual Labs, Etsy's online interactive classrooms, at 1pm PT the day of CRAFT BAR for those unable to attend in-person. For those who prefer less structure, there is also a Stitch and Bitch area to continue projects or start new ones.

From crocheting with recycled plastic bags to creating fabric flower brooches and hand-sewing plushie robots, there is something to engage all ages. When weather permits, a Craft Garden is opened on Yerba Buena Lane. Trumer Pils provides refreshments; Britex Fabrics provides materials; and other local food and musicians often contribute to create an event overflowing with food, drink, and socializing.

Take inspiration from the Museum Gallery and the Store while you explore the creative process @ CRAFT BAR!
