We Create: Sculpture
Sketch. Imagine. Build. Sculpt!
Tuesday - Saturday | 10AM - 5PM
Sunday | 12PM - 4PM
What can you make with a lump of clay, pieces of cardboard or blocks—or even things you would think is trash? You can make a sculpture! Come explore the form of art that can be tall or tiny, smooth or bumpy, realistic or completely wild!
In We Create: Sculpture, explore the elements of art, math and science and put yourself in the shoes of the most famous sculptors. From Donatello to Louise Bourgeois, explore various artists who loved to sculpt and try your hand at the craft. See what happens when you mold, build, stack, bend, balance, or assemble with various materials. Let’s see what we create!
Watch our website for create times with local sculptor Rick Willets!

Assemblage Action and Temporary Sculpture!
Turn trash to treasure with Assemblage Action! Use a variety of recycled materials to create anything you can imagine.
Sometimes things only last so long. In nature, everything is always changing and that’s okay! Make a temporary sculpture with elements of the outdoors and capture it forever with our camera!
