Description

This Is Not Your Average Art Book. 
Brought to you by the Exploratorium’s Tinkering Studio, The Art of Tinkering is an unprecedented celebration of what it means to tinker: to take things apart, explore tools and materials, and build wondrous, wild art that’s part science and part technology. Sign up for 150+ makers as they share the stories in the back of their beautiful and bold work and use this book to do some tinkering yourself. We do mean “use this book” in a literal sense… you won’t even be capable to reach the first page before the use of it.

The Art of Tinkering is a collection of exhibits, artwork, and projects that celebrate a whole new way to be informed, in which people create their own knowledge through making and doing, working with readily to be had materials, getting their hands dirty, collaborating with others, problem-solving in the most fun sense of the word, and, yes, oftentimes failing and bouncing back from getting stuck.

Every artist featured in The Art of Tinkering goes through this process, and lovingly shares the backstory in the back of their own work in order that readers can feel invited to sign up for in on the whimsy. Whether it’s sharing their favorite tools (who knew toenail clippers could be so handy?) or offering a glimpse of their workspaces (you’d be amazed how many electronics tools you’ll be able to pack into one pantry!), the stories, lessons, and tips in The Art of Tinkering offer a fascinating portrait of today’s maker scene.

Artists include:
Learn from greats like Scott Weaver, Arthur Ganson, Moxie, Tim Hunkin, AnnMarie Thomas, Ranjit Bhatnajar and Jie Qi.
