Extended Education Offers Insiders' Views of Interior Design

San Francisco, June 10, 2005

This summer, interior design is hot at two Extended Education events in July: the Interior Designers Forum (July 16) and Behind the Scenes in Interior Design (July 23), both in San Francisco.

The theme of the Interior Designers Forum is "Generations: A Legacy of Style," focusing on the role of mentors and design greats in interior design. Seven leading California designers will show slides of their newest work, discuss their influences, and illuminate their own career paths. Keynote speaker Suzanne Tucker of Tucker & Marks will discuss the legacy of Michael Taylor, one of the giants of California design. Best-selling design author Diane Dorrans Saeks moderates. The event is held in conjunction with the San Francisco Design Center's Summer Market and takes place at the CCA San Francisco campus from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cost: $120 (includes lunch and refreshments).

The following Saturday, in Behind the Scenes in Interior Design, join Diane Dorrans Saeks on an insider's tour to four San Francisco interior design and architecture studios that are normally closed to the public. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cost: $125 (includes lunch).

This summer's Extended Education classes range from one-day workshops to comprehensive multisession courses; from introductions to drawing, painting, and photography to specialized workshops taught by visiting artists. Day, evening, and weekend classes are available. During the summer, CCA also offers for-credit degree courses, study abroad programs, and, for young people, the Pre-College Program, Ninth-Grade Summer Atelier, and Young Artist Studio Program.
