We are thrilled to be pioneering this unique mentorship program. Despite a number of ups and downs, the exhibition looks fantastic and I know CFG will be curious to see the outcomes and hear the stories that were produced out of this summer-long collaborative project.

Please let all CFGguild members know that Museum of Contemporary Craft will be offering free admission to CFG members for the duration of the exhibition, October 22 - December 3. Also, there are a few events affiliated with this program that might be of interest to your guild:
