Keepsake Sculptures 10/24

Keepsake Sculptures (plaster gauze): Youth will get a chance to get their hands into their art. We will use an oil base product to protect our hands as we make keepsake hand sculptures made from plaster gauze. Once sculptures are dry they can be decorated. Ages 4-10. Tickets are free, but registration is required as tickets are very limited! Masks are required. Students must be accompanied by an adult.

Rikiesha Metzger is a community artist and sculptor working with themes related to race, identity and beauty. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Philosophy, Art Theory, and Art Aesthetics at IDVSA (Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts). Rikiesha received her M.A. in Community Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2009. Originally from Philadelphia, PA, she has traveled extensively, first as a military child, and more recently as an artist interested in experiencing and collaborating with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Participating in arts programs abroad has granted Rikiesha the opportunity to meet new people by using art as a universal language to communicate with others.
