Kids' Sculpture Workshop

The Cyrus Dallin Art


Museum will sponsor a children’s sculpture workshop on Sunday, April
27 from 1:00 – 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 sculptures. A
materials fee of $20 is due on the day of the program (families with
more than one child attending will be charged a reduced fee of $15 for
each additional registrant).

Because of the popularity of this
workshop, it is recommended that you register early. Space is limited.
E-mail info@dallin.org to register. Please include the child’s name and
age, parent’s phone, e-mail, and mailing address so the museum can
contact you with any updated information. A parent or other adult should
plan to accompany the child at this workshop.
