The Craft Continuum

Come join our new artist forums that begin with a gathering of artists, members and friends in Brookfield Craft Center’s beautiful River Room. Presentations will be made by our faculty and guest artists about their current work along with some actual work on display. The point is to bring together our creative community to exchange ideas and foster growth in the culture of fine craftsmanship. Enjoy these super casual evening get-togethers which will provide inspiring looks at current creative initiatives by some fascinating local artists. Refreshments will be served, but feel free to bring a treat to share with the group.
