Arts in the Natural World Series: Sculpture and Forms

August-October 31; March 15-June

The Earth has plenty to offer by way of inspiration for artwork. Prepare to visit the hiking trails and creek at the Arts Center where we will investigate our natural clay beds and use clay to experiment with sculptural techniques. Follow us through three phases: the natural history of clay, the science behind processing a natural resource into an artist’s medium, and clay’s role in the arts and daily life more broadly. Programs in the Arts in the Natural World Series seek to demonstrate intersections between the arts and the world around us. This program only operates in warmer months (August-October 31; March 15-June).
