Jumbo Prawns Art Club in SF

Craft & Design Home

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

The Luggage Store (which incidentally doesn’t sell luggage) in San Francisco is hosting an exhibit called the Jumbo Prawns Art Club, featuring the work of three Bay Area artists: Scatha Allison (Miss Velvet Cream), Jason Dunman, and Julian Prince Dash, from now until February 27th. From these set-up shots, I can tell the show will definitely provide some creative inspiration. Miss Velvet Cream hand-crafts magical clothing creations “for tomorrow’s urban nomads.” Her work has been featured in previous Maker Faire fashion shows, and she spearheaded last year’s Maker Faire Swap-o-Rama-Rama. Her talent and vision are amazing, and I’m excited to see what she has come up with for this installation. She has an on-site sewing date tentatively set for February 20th. Check out some of her previous work on her Flickr page.
