Cyrus Dallin Art Museum Holds Kids Sculpture Workshop

The Cyrus Dallin Art Museum will sponsor a children’s sculpture workshop on Saturday, February 13, 2016 from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. The workshop is being offered during school vacation and is designed for children in grades 1 through 4. Learn how, as a child, Cyrus Dallin taught himself to sculpt by observing the wildlife and people around him. The program will feature an age-appropriate tour of the galleries and a hand-building workshop during which children will learn how to build armatures and work clay to create their own unique sculptures. A materials fee of $20 is due in advance of the program ($15 for museum members).
