yours truly x m.i.a.d. : dish and demo
Collaborating with a small group of Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design students, we held a one-time event with multiple craft workshops that was free to the public. The craft demonstrations were basket making, candle making, and hand building with clay. This was an opportunity for the students to work with an established DIY space create programming that engages the public. March 10th, 2024.
