Summer Week 2 | ReWonder: Recycled Sculpture

This week-long course is part of our Summer Program, beginning on Sunday (June 21st) and ending on Saturday (June 27th). Class takes place Monday morning through Friday morning, with additional programming on Sunday and Saturday.

We are called to care for creation and our common home. In the face of the pressing reality of environmental degradation, humanity has a vital role to play in helping the planet flourish. ReWonder is an artistic approach that seeks to reclaim, restore, and regenerate intended beauty.

Sculptural practice can be part of this conscious evolution by engaging sustainable art-making processes. This course invites students to create outdoor sculptures using recycled materials. Through thoughtful material selection, interactive design, and careful attention to environmental impact, students will be guided onto a path of rewonder through the artistic process.
