Create a unique marble sculpture for the garden, home or gallery in this 3 day Tower Hill Botanic Garden workshop with award-winning sculptor and author DJ Garrity. Workshop participants will discover how to use basic hand tools to finesse an image from stone which carries their unique creative imprint, in a program designed for both the novice or those with experience. The format of the workshop will follow techniques established in the artist’s book titled The Rhythms of Stone, a basic guide to direct stone sculpture. $475 for Tower Hill Members, $525 for nonmembers.
The award winning sculptor and author who currently divides his time between France and The Aran Islands in the West of Ireland is the former Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Garrity developed the hands-on workshop at Mount Rushmore as an interpretive training program in collaboration with the National Park Service and has subsequently conducted the Garden Sculpture Workshop at botanic gardens, museums and art associations from coast-to-coast across America. This workshop will be his only appearance in New England in 2013. For more on the artist, visit www.djgarrity.com.
