AIGA Minnesota: Step Away from the Screen

The American Craft Council presents a series of public conversations about craft, making and art in the American Craft Council Library. The continuation of a unique collaboration between the American Craft Council and AIGA Minnesota, this panel and exhibition will showcase professional designers who also have side practices in craft and work with materials like clay, glass, wood, fiber and metal. The discussion will be moderated by designer Brent Stickels and feature creative director and painter Sharon Werner, experienced designer and furniture maker Teri Kwant and two additional panelists yet to be announced. The conversation will center around the value of working in three dimensions, the importance of the tangible as part of the design process and the creative boost that comes from picking up a tool as a method of creative expression and problem solving – instead of using a mouse and monitor. No RSVP is necessary, but space is limited.
