Made in SF: Handcrafted to High-Tech Manufacturing in Dogpatch

Celebrate Manufacturing Week with a behind-the-scenes tour of two innovative Dogpatch businesses. Visit Rickshaw Bagworks, where skilled craftspeople design and sew durable bags by hand, and Wildtype, a pioneering food company using cutting-edge technology to cultivate seafood from cells. Presented in partnership with the Dogpatch Art & Business Association, this tour explores the breadth of modern manufacturing—from time-honored craftsmanship to groundbreaking food science. **4:00 — Meet at Woods Yard Park** (915 22nd Street at the corner of 22nd and Minnesota) **4:05 — Rickshaw Bagworks** (904 22nd St.) **5:00 — Wildtype** (2525 3rd St.)

Mills College in Oakland

We will meet at 10:30 in front of the Art Museum at the end of Kapiolani Drive on campus. And return to the museum at 12:15 for a thowdown of our sketches. The campus has many unusual buildings, including Mills Hall built in the 1870s. The museum plaza itself presents several vistas onto campus with many mature trees, a creek and a nature trail. There is also covered areas for shade or rain. There is a restroom nearby. Inside the museum, the current exhibition is "The Data on Hand", described as artworks "combining craft materials and practices with data information on climate change". Admission is free and opens at 11 am. Directions: The art museum's page provides the most accurate driving directions at [mcam.oakland.northeastern.edu/visit/](http://mcam.oakland.northeastern.edu/visit/) Bicyclists can load their vehicle on the bike rack and take AC Transit bus # 57 eastbound directly to the main gate next to the stoplight at MacArthur Blvd. Both drivers and non-drivers need to show a photo ID to the security guard at the gate. I've always passed muster by telling them I'm going to the art museum.
