It’s arts and crafts time again at San Francisco’s Fort Mason Center, as the venerable American Craft Council brings its annual show to town.

Feeling the heat, perhaps, of such upstarts as West Coast Craft and Maker Faire, the council this year is adding hands-on craft stations and Hip Pop, a series of pop-ups that focus on up-and-coming talents. Still, what we’re looking forward to seeing is fresh work from established artisans like East Bay glassblower Dave Strock, who makes these glorious tumblers (above). $14 admission; Jul 31–Aug 2.
