Inspired by Mineo Mizuno’s stunning site-specific sculpture Homage to Nature, and how he combines wood and clay to celebrate the natural world, families will design their own hanging sculpture using wood pieces, paint, beads, and more. Led by Artist Hands founder Helen Maier, children and adults will work side by side, exploring color, texture, and form in a fun and experimental environment.
