Join artist-in-residence Esperanza Cortés to create your own one-of-a-kind earring or pendant using glass beads, chain, thread, wax, feathers, leather, paper, plastic, small personal photographs, shaped wire, and a variety of mixed-media elements.

Led by MAD’s artists-in-residence, MADmakes is a drop-in, hands-on series where visitors can test their skills at art making and creative production. MADmakes provides an opportunity for visitors to better understand and appreciate the workmanship that goes into contemporary studio practice today. Visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels are invited to create something new every month.
