Sculpture Workshop at U of MN LabSchool

Delilah and I taught a copper sculpture workshop to her preschool class at the U of MN LabSchool. Our first mother-daughter class went well and was a blast.

Each child was given a copper foil 12" triangle to create their own designs and imagery. They were taught 3 techniques of embossing, stamping and rollering. They drew images, pounded objects or letters with a hammer and used a print-making roller to roll over textures.

I assembled the 20 triangles together to form a large sphere of an 2.5' icosahedron shape. The children were so excited to see their own work next to their classmates and all together culminating a beautiful sculpture!

The children were able to peek into the big ball before I sealed up the last triangle to hang it in their classroom.
