Saturday, October 13th, 2012          This Saturday, we will take a closer look at William Tucker's three sculptures,Eve, Hero at Evening, and A Homage to Rodin in the Wheat Field. Born in Cairo in 1935, he and his family moved to England two years later, where he lived until he moved to the United States in 1978. Tucker is an internationally renowned artist who is known for his contemporary bronze sculptures. William Tucker, Eve, 2000   Back in the studio, children will work with natural, air-dry clay. We will learn how making a clay sculpture is often the first step in creating and casting a bronze piece. Using hand-building techniques, we will squish, squeeze, pinch, and pull  the clay into human-like forms. Come get your hands messy while experimenting with this wonderful material!        Saturday, October 13th    10am-12pm $12/child (bring a sibling or friend, $20 for two) Drop-off & Pick-up at The Visitors Center  1405 County Route 22, Ghent, NY     _________________________________________________________  COMING SOON!         ____________________________________________________ Volunteers Needed for "Trick or Treat in The Fields" Halloween Event  Fun-loving, energetic teens ages 13+ are needed onSaturday, October 27th from 3:30-6:30pm to assist with our annual Halloween Event.
