MAKE

Museum of Craft and Design 2569 3rd St, San Francisco

This month we craft our inspiration from the work found in Raw Design. Join us for a free glass of wine during our 6 PM Artist Happy Hour with ceramicist Ilana Crispi to learn about her Mission Dirt Project– an excavation of dirt along Valencia Street that culminates in the firing of the physical material in order to examine questions of home, history, geology, and ownership.
