CURRENT MAKEART LAB PROJECT
Beau McCall: A Button Necklace Lesson
Nearly forty years ago, Beau McCall began his career in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood with the Harlem Institute of Fashion. Since then, the artist has continued to transform buttons into wearable and visual art. His signature style of layered, overlapping buttons is present throughout his work and reflected in this unique necklace.
Check out the video in the MakeArt Lab, grab a set of printed instructions and let Beau himself guide you as you create an eye-catching wearable button masterpiece!
The Museum of Craft and Design’s MakeArt Lab is generously supported by John and Robyn Horn.
Funding for the Museum of Craft and Design’s MakeArt programs is made possible, in part, by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
