The Highland Friendship Club students involved in this four week sculpture workshop showed their work at the St. Paul Gallery of Art. They were introduced to copper embossing and fabricating, found object assemblage, instrument making and basic sculptural methods.
The participants were given choices of materials, techniques and results. Drawing on individuals strengths and interests, each went into a their own direction (in some instances with a PCA) with the supplied materials and tools.
One individual hammered out his drum while one painted and embellished his. Another incorporated her interest in a baseball player, horses and portraits into her work. She created a metal frame to hold her photos of her horse and a light-box of her favorite baseball player. The students worked hard during this workshop and had an amazing and bountiful body of work to show.
Thanks to the HFC folks that participated in the workshop, HFC for support, Dustin Thune for instruction and inspiration, Mad Hatter for good food and drink and St. Paul Gallery of Art for showcase plus.

Hi Sara, If you had enabled comments on your other page I could have told you there that "Sculpture with Light" is still one of the finest pieces I have seen from the Mpls. art scene. It is beautiful, spiritual, and primal in a most engaging way. Keep up the good work.
regards, Randall
