Museum of Craft & Folk Art

Join us on Thursday, March 3rd from 6-8pm for a Craft Bar featuring workshops by two local artists. Learn how to turn ordinary felt into a beautiful piece of wearable art with papercut artist, Jeeyon Shim. Jeeyon will be teaching a workshop on crafting a gorgeous felt bracelet using German papercutting techniques. Comics artist, Susie Cagle, will be teaching a primer in mini-comic book making. From script to bound book: write, draw, and assemble your own finished pocket-sized comic in about an hour.

Don't forget to take inspiration from the gallery and Museum gift-shop while you explore the creative process. Materials kindly provided by Simplicity. Drinks provided by Trumer Pils.

We had another wonderful Make It @ MOCFA this past Saturday. Kids (and adults!) made Valentine's Day cards inspired by the artwork of Sister Corita, the subject of our current exhibition.

The MOCFA gallery will be closed until February 3rd while we install our new exhibit, E if for Everyone: Celebrating Sister Corita. The store will remain open, however, so please stop by and check out all the crafty goodness we have on offer.

And don't forget to stop by the evening of February 3rd for our opening event and craft bar super-combo! We'll be using Corita-imagery to make Valentine's Day-inspired cards and envelopes. It promises to be a busy night, so arrive there early and get down with your bad crafting self.

Excited? So are we! Check out the press release at MOCFA.org:
