CraftKids asks students to explore the interplay between form and function in craft through carefully looking at the Museum’s collection and temporary exhibitions. Through a 60-minute session, students are introduced to craft by
considering the role it plays in their daily lives. Tours are inquiry- and discussion-based, guiding students as they learn to look at objects in new and meaningful ways. Thematic tours focus on materials, process, identity in craft, positive and negative space, and more.
Reservations are required a minimum of two weeks in advance. Please provide the requested date and time, contact name, contact information, as well as the number and grade level of students.

“If you can’t get a man to propose to you, you might as well be dead.” - “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale
Fresh from Broadway where it was nominated for ten Tony Awards in 2007, this new musical from Doug Wright (I Am My Own Wife) tells the hilarious and heartbreaking story of two indomitable women, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter “Little Edie,” the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Once among the brightest names on the social register, these two women became East Hampton’s most notorious recluses, living in a dilapidated 28-room mansion with their 52 cats.
Museum of Contemporary Craft features for the first time the 17 ceramic vessels granted to the Museum by internationally recognized artist Toshiko Takaezu. Former faculty member at Princeton University, Takaezu is widely considered the first person to close – or nearly close – a ceramic vessel. She combines technical mastery with spontaneous painterly glazes that have influenced decades of ceramists worldwide.
