“It’s Teatime O’Clock!” is the multi-generational game lounge I designed and led fabrication on for The Kirkland, now part of the Denver Art Museum! This semi-permanent activity space is perfect for all ages to explore the “cartoon collection” version of some of Kirkland’s most exciting tea sets and find a welcoming space to be curious and investigate.

From the DAM website:
Celebrate The Kirkland joining the Denver Art Museum at this free, family-friendly neighborhood block party on Sunday, July 27. This Free Day at the DAM will feature artmaking, food, musical performances, and more in Denver’s Golden Triangle.

The dark water of the Suwannee River flows from the Okefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. The river’s inky color comes from decaying vegetation at the river’s swampy source.”
