TUFTEX is teaming up with three powerhouse artists, each bringing their signature skills, techniques, and creative magic to an unforgettable day of education and installation as we help the museum celebrate 100 years of art, color, and imagination. Here are the TUFTEX TEACHERS and what you’ll learn:
