On the third Thursday of each month, stay out late with the Museum of Craft and Design. Collaborate with artists and makers, explore unique themes and re-think materials through creative design projects.
This month, in partnership with Chronicle Books, MCD welcomes beloved Bay Area artist, author and ceramicist Rae Dunn to celebrate the pre-release of her brand new book, "In Pursuit of Inspiration." During the Artist Happy Hour, hear from Rae in conversation with MCD programmers about her path to inspiration and the innate creativity in all of us. Pick up a pre-release copy of the book, then stick around to get it signed and discover her favorite techniques for approaching a blank page-from drawing with your non-dominant hand to sketching with objects found in nature, each chapter offers a simple yet surprising catalyst to help you get in touch with your own creativity.
Trust your instincts and make more art within the MCD galleries by putting Rae's processes to practice at instructor and self-led hands-on stations throughout MCD's exhibitions "Material Domestication" and "Wanxin Zang: The Long Journey."
