BWST Family Day: Like a Lake

Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail 
Family Day Program 

Saturday April 27, 1 – 4 PM 
Artist Facilitator: Quintin Teszeri  
Shoreline Room, Art Gallery of Burlington

Like a Lake is a free, drop-in sculpture workshop facilitated by Quintin Teszeri at the Art Gallery of Burlington on Saturday April 27th from 1-4 PM. Participants of all ages and skill sets are invited to try sculpting using an organic modelling compound made with sand. Samples of eroded beach bricks will be provided as inspiration to begin thinking about the role of water in shaping land and objects.  

Natural processes are often co-opted to solve human problems, but these processes also have the capacity to solve the problem that is humanity. What happens when we engage with erosion and sedimentation as sculptural processes? How can the lake soften our impact, soften us, render us more organic? 

This event is drop-in style, so registration is appreciated but not required.

This program is presented in partnership with the Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail.

While you're here, make sure to check out our Take-and-Make cart, where you can find all sorts of artsy odds and ends to take home and use. These free art supplies are made available by the generosity of our community, so if you have art supplies at home that you're no longer using, consider bringing them in to add to the Take-and-Make cart! Take what you need and give what you can.
