Iturralde. Participants will help build a touchable sculpture inspired by Judith Schaechter’s Beached Whale (2018)\, a stained glass masterpiece featured in MCD’s upcoming exhibition\, Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural. \nWhether you’re passionate about craft and design\, environmental sustainability\, or improving accessibility in the arts\, this is your opportunity to contribute to a meaningful\, collaborative access point at MCD. \nThis MakeArt Course will take place over 3 Sessions. The first session is free with admission to MakeArt Family Day. Sessions 2 & 3 need separate registrations. Participants can attend one or all three sessions. \nSession 1: Talk Trash & Build the Bones\nAugust 23\, 1 – 4 PM | Free with Admission to MakeArt Family Day \nKick things off with a thought-provoking “trash talk” circle. You’ll reflect on what we throw away and why\, while turning clean\, everyday waste—think candy wrappers and bubble wrap—into solid building blocks. These will form the inner skeleton of our collaborative sculpture. It’s a chance to connect\, create\, and reconsider your footprint\, all while helping bring the Beached Whale to life from the inside out. \nBetween Sessions 1–2\, Daniel constructs the sculpture’s armature and preps homemade papier mâché from recycled paper. \nSession 2: Sculpt with Paper & Purpose\nAugust 30\, 1 – 3 PM | Ticketed Event \nGet your hands messy as we apply layers of papier mâché to build up the whale’s body. You’ll learn to mold volume and texture\, and even start your own mini armature to take home. Bonus: you’ll leave with Daniel’s eco-friendly paper pulp recipe—perfect for future upcycled creations. \nBetween Sessions 2–3\, Daniel adds the whale’s intricate features: ghostly eyes\, sharp teeth\, and a tangled net belly. \nSession 3: Smooth & Splash On the Color\nSeptember 6\, 1 – 3 PM | Ticketed Event \nIt’s finishing day! Together\, we’ll sand and shape the surface of the sculpture\, then bring it to life with a creamy base coat and eerie\, maroon splotches. Learn basic painting techniques that add mood and depth\, and watch the whale transform into a powerful tool for accessibility during Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural. \nPre-registration is required; 20 spots are available for each session.\n \nSession 1 is included as part of our MakeArt Family Day. Sessions 2 & 3 need separate registrations.

This conversational event will feature visual descriptions\, oral histories\, and the clitter clatter sound of buttons in motion. \nButtons On! is a treasure trove of multisensory experiences. As an almost 40-year retrospective of Beau McCall\, the exhibition not only showcases Beau’s evolving mastery of the button but also tells the story of one man who\, in the face of racism\, homophobia\, and profound loss\, has continued to meet the world with openness\, resilience\, and a desire to connect. \nThis free program is open to all. Visual descriptions and multisensory experiences are essential elements of museum access for the Blind and Low Vision community\, but they are also tools of universal design that foster connections between the exhibition and people of all backgrounds.

Visual descriptions and AI-assisted learning are available via Ally and haptic pieces by Beau McCall are always on display. \nThese three haptic pieces showcase Beau’s use of symbolic buttons\, his trademark two-layer button approach\, and denim backings—a material choice that is both symbolic and pragmatic. Denim references America’s history of systemic racism\, as it was commonly worn by enslaved people forced into labor\, while its strength supports the accumulating weight of buttons. \nGet to know Beau! Explore the links below to learn about the artist and the people he loved and lost. Plus\, explore Beau’s archive of oral histories with The Button Jar and The Conversation. \nBeau McCall: The Button Man\nAn introduction to Beau \nRewind: Memories on Repeat\nThis is a heavy but beautiful video in which Beau talks about people he’s lost. \nThe Button Jar and The Conversation\nRecorded interviews between Beau and guests\, curated by Souleo.

The final sculpture will provide a tactile connection to our upcoming exhibition Judith Schaechter: Super / Natural. Haptic objects like this are an important part of museum access and inclusion\, especially for the Blind and Low-Vision community. \nJoin us during MakeArt Family Day for step one – compacting clean trash for the sculpture’s structure.

This participatory discussion draws inspiration from MCD’s current exhibition A Roadmap to Stardust\, an immersive exhibition featuring the work of John Roloff and Neil Forrest that explores the history of humankind as told through ceramics\, mythology\, and fictional archaeologies. It invites participants to question how our present moment will be remembered thousands of years from now. \n– Will the stories and technologies of our time become the stuff of legend?\n– What role does mythology play in our modern understanding of the past?\n– And perhaps most pressingly\, how can history inform our ideas of the future? \nPre-registration is required through SF Design Week \nThis event is part of SF Design Week. Purchase your OnePass to register for this program\, as well as a host of events and workshops across the city from June 2nd to June 10th\, 2025. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Inviting visitors to explore the mysteries of the cosmos through the transformative lens of craft\, the exhibition unfolds like an archaeological dig into an imagined past. Curious faux-historical artifacts\, predominantly fashioned from clay\, evoke the excavation of a long-lost civilization. Visitors will encounter reinterpreted “telescopes” crafted from elements reminiscent of Greek amphorae and classical statuary\, alongside other relics such as crocodile skulls\, warrior gear\, and early technologies. These pieces collectively suggest an origin story where the very substance of Earth\, clay\, becomes a metaphor for both creation and cosmic exploration. \n  \nBeau McCall: Buttons On!\nButtons On! marks the West Coast debut of the first-ever retrospective showcasing the extraordinary career of artist Beau McCall. Known for his innovative wearable and visual art\, McCall hand-sews buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics\, materials\, and objects. This exhibition presents highlights from McCall’s nearly forty-year career\, including the debut of new works and select archival pieces. \nVisitors will experience McCall’s embellished wearable art\, including jackets\, durags\, vests\, and jewelry; contemporary art pieces like a button-encrusted cast iron bathtub and a life-size Kool-Aid Man; never-before-seen archival materials; and a few select items of McCall’s button-less works that spotlight his versatility and boundless creativity. Buttons On! delves into McCall’s mastery of the button\, offering thought-provoking commentary on topics such as pop culture and social justice\, and invites visitors to experience moments of joy and personal connection through his art.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”50″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nMCD MEMBERS\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Make the most of your MCD Membership.
