About The Event

Every third Saturday of each month, stop by the Ames Family Atrium between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session provides the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s Education Art Collection in a pop-up Art Up Close session. See, think, and wonder.

Join artist Aimee Lee as she demonstrates how to make mulberry-bark lace. Visitors can witness her intricate process firsthand, delving into the ancient Korean art of papermaking and lace crafting. Through her expert guidance, participants learn the delicate techniques required to transform natural mulberry bark into ethereal lace, connecting with the rich cultural heritage of Korea.

In conjunction with Lee’s demonstration, don’t miss the opportunity to explore Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution, where two of her exquisite dresses are on view. These garments not only showcase the evolution of Korean fashion but also exemplify the fusion of tradition and innovation that defines contemporary Korean couture. From the intricate details to the bold silhouette, each dress tells a story of revolution and cultural identity.
