Explore the magic of design in this playful, hands-on workshop! Inspired by handcrafted models of&nbsp;Dancing Trees, the new seating in the Plaza, created by Kazuyo Sejima &amp; Associates, children will embark on a scavenger hunt — searching the Plaza to match each miniature model to its full-sized sculptural bench.
After discovering how designers turn ideas into form, participants will head into the studio to create their own original model out of clay — shaping, molding, and transforming their ideas into something they can hold. It’s a creative adventure that brings architecture to life for young makers. Throughout July, Thursday 3:00 - 5:00 pm &amp;&nbsp; Saturdays 10:00 am - 2:00pm

Internationally acclaimed artist&nbsp;Teresita Fernández&nbsp;joins us in the Sanctuary for a conversation with&nbsp;Grace Farms&nbsp;Founding Creative Director&nbsp;Chelsea Thatcher&nbsp;to discuss her studio practice, research, materials, and site-specific work,&nbsp;<a href="https://gracefarms.org/artworks#permanent" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Double Glass River</a>&nbsp;(2015), which has become an integral part of&nbsp;Grace Farms.
Created in relationship with the River building and nature in 2015 during the period of the building’s construction,&nbsp;Double Glass River, resembles an undulating galaxy of 10,000 mirrored glass cubes and expands horizontally across the curved wall at the end of the Commons. Depending on where the viewer stands, the shining reflection constantly alters, and engages the viewer in many places along the grounds. The work urges the audience to reflect upon themselves and their relationship to a changing landscape.
Fernández and Thatcher’s conversation will be preceded by a short solo viola recital by award-winning Jamaican-American violist&nbsp;Jordan Bak&nbsp;to open the season’s music program, with a focus on the contemplative and active dynamics of peace.
