CRAFT IN FOCUS FESTIVAL
June 3–4, 2017 at Industry City, Brooklyn
http://craftinfocusnewyork.com/
In a world where children are swiping their iPhones and 3D printers are building houses, and a time of serial mass production and consumption, the beauty of handmade quality products and hands-on experience of learning technique directly from an artist should be revalued. In 2013, the Craft in Focus Festival was founded on these principles, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and has been an annual success for the last three years. On June 3 and 4 Craft in Focus will be presented in New York City for the first time giving those who live, work, learn, and play in the city the opportunity to learn from master craftsmen from around the world.
General Admission tickets for the two days is $15 for adults / $10 for students / Children under 18 are free.
Craft in Focus Festival is open on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 from 11:00am–6:00pm. There is a party in the courtyard on Saturday, June 3 from 6:00–10:00pm with live music and refreshments.
Master Classes, Workshops, Talks, and Film Screenings are priced separately, tickets may be purchased online, in advance, http://craftinfocusnewyork.com/tickets/ or in person at the event.
Brooklyn Metal Works will be teaching you how to make Spoons, Silver Rings, and Silver Earrings. See you there!
