Brittany Burke

Mold and paint to create a collaborative sculpture.

Join Visiting Artist Brittany Burke for a honeybee-themed “pop-up” studio in the Makerspace. Brittany will guide us through the process of molding and painting hexagonal wax sheets to create a collaborative sculpture inspired by the essential role that bees play in our environment.

In addition to the generous funding of the Lunder Arts & Culture Gallery by The Lunder Foundation, the Visiting Artist Series is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Free with play session admission.
