Assemblage vs. Sculpture: Found Object Sculpture with Amy Vidra

Pence Gallery 212 D Street, Davis, CA, United States

Participants will be guided through the fundamentals of sculpture and will have time to stroll through Davis to find their own inspirational found objects to include in their pieces. Please visit our website for the materials list. 1p—4p. $125-140
