A SELECTION OF PAST WORKSHOPS
CONNECT WITH EAMES
Children enjoyed the opportunity to learn all about the wonderful world of Charles and Ray Eames at A+D Museum's ARkidECTURE + design workshop at The Eames Office Saturday, January 14th. Carla Hartman, Education Director and granddaughter of Charles and Ray Eames, lead this educational workshop where children will created their very own Eames designs including a custom 'Eames House of Cards' and a miniature paper chair. A tour of the Eames Office exhibition, Essential Eames: the Design of Knowledge, and its interactive component was also given.

A+D Museum presented two ARkidECTURE + design workshops with two collaborating firms for the Summer of 2011: Moore Rubell Yudell Architects & Planners and Enviromental graphics firm Sussman/Prezja.
'STEP TO DESIGN' WORKSHOP with Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners
A+D Museum and MRY hosted a children’s workshop exploring the world of staircases. Children worked alongside professional architects to plan, design and build a staircase. Whether their models were sweeping and grand or sky-high and wild, ARkidECTs gained hands-on experience in the world of a professional architect... stepping up to the design of their imaginations.

'MUSEUM OF ME' WORKSHOP with Sussman/Prezja
Children exploreed the world of Environmental Graphics with A+D Museum and Sussman-Prejza. Working alongside professional designers, ARkidTECTS created their own ‘Museum of Me’. These ARkidECTs learned some of the key elements of Environmental Graphics by channeling expression of their personality through color, mood, space, and scale in this one day workshop. Colors and sparkles and felt, oh my! Museum of Me workshop photos here.
