Join teaching artist Billie Rae Vinson to create printed family portraits in conjunction with this year’s NEA Big Read: Los Angeles! Using simple print-making techniques participants will make exaggerated caricature artworks inspired by this year’s Big Read novel, Roz Chast’s Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant? In her memoir Chast tells a story filled with laughs and tears, as she represents her parents’ final years through four-color cartoons, family photos, and narrative writing. Craft Lab is for all ages, everyone is
welcome!
Founded as a museum in 1973, Craft Contemporary reveals the potential of craft to educate, captivate, provoke, and empower. With a focus on contemporary art made from craft media and processes, Craft Contemporary presents dynamic exhibitions by established and emerging artists and designers who are often underrepresented in larger art institutions. Craft Contemporary complements these exhibitions with a creative line-up of educational programs, including hands-on workshops led by professional artists. Craft
Contemporary cultivates an environment for people in Los Angeles to deepen their relationship to art, creativity, and one another. For more information, contact Billie Rae Vinson, Director of School and Family Programs, at billie@craftcontemporary.org
