Ivy Mix, Grace Whiteside |

Craft, Cocktails & Conversation will be an evening of dialogue that joins art, design, and craftsmanship across practices with a well-known mixologist, Ivy Mix, artist Grace Whiteside, and UrbanGlass executive director Devin Mathis in discussion.

Ivy Mix will be creating a custom cocktail for a drinking vessel designed by Grace Whiteside. While drinks are being prepared, the artist will demonstrate the making of their glass from the UrbanGlass studio. In the midst of this, the three of them will discuss the interdisciplinary nature of making in all forms.
