Mobile MakeArt: LightHouse for the Blind
January 9, 2025 @ 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
The Museum of Craft and Design partners with the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired to facilitate monthly art projects reflective of MCD’s current exhibitions.
Explore RugLife through haptic, hands-on making and come away with a hand-made wall hanging. Dive into exhibition concepts like the feeling of home rugs denote and the personal identity that can be interwoven in these artifacts. Build upon or begin your textile creative journey and engage with fiber arts through RugLife programming until the exhibition’s conclusion in April 2025.
January 9, 2025, 11:00: AM–1:00 PM at LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired
1155 Market St, 10th floor, San Francisco, CA 94103
