EVENTs
Flutter - Collaborative Sculpture
Jewish Community Day School, Boston
Artist-In-Residence Project
January, 2023
Thank you to JCDS, Boston's Jewish Community Day School, for inviting me and to the Beker Family Foundation for their support of this wonderful program that brought a number of artist-in-residences into the school. I facilitated a clay project inspired by the Monarch butterfly. Students sculpted ceramic butterflies after learning about the Monarch's importance to the ecosystem and its current status as an endangered species. Students studied Monarch wing patterns and then created their own unique wing designs. All of their ceramic butterflies will flutter together as a collaborative sculpture.
