Socrates sculpture park is ramping up free kids' workshops for the rest of the summer.
Lots to do, and kids will love the hands on.
Here's a list, generally Saturdays around noon to 3:
August 20: Odysseus at Hell Gate: An East River Puppetscape with Processional Arts Workshop
See Featured Workshop section.
August 27: Old to the New: The T-shirt Project with Darren Goins
After collecting t-shirts from friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers we'll set out to reuse these once loved t-shirts from the inside out. Using a variety of materials and printmaking processes, scribble your own insignias, glyphs, and phrases onto the insides and wear them outside. Whoopie!
September 3: DIY Bookmaking with Linda Ganjian
Transform an ordinary sheet of paper into a small book by using paper, feathers, glitter, and anything else your heart desires.
September 10: Wooden Beast with Free Style Arts Association
Build a giant wooden creature out of hundreds of long thin pieces of wood. Utilizing tape, staples and screws, participants will actually build a real wooden sculpture in the form of a dynamic, bristling, imaginary beast.
September 17: Sprouted Sculptures with Harriet Salmon
Come make sculpture that grows! Using paper maché filled with real seeds, you can build sculptures that sprout into living creations. By pressing the seed-mush into recycled plastic packaging and other discarded forms, children will build objects that you can put out in the garden or in a flower pot and watch them grow into a creature. Add glitter, paint and other decorations to make the transition even weirder!
September 24: The Wonderful World of Terrariums with Danielle Frazier & Trenton Duerkson
Create your own miniature world of plant life! Bring along your favorite clear container, be it a fish bowl, plastic container, jug, jar, etc. Tiny crystals, rocks, figurines, or marbles also make great additions to any terrarium. We will supply the moss, seeds, some stones, soil and other accents to make these tiny landscapes as mystical as possible. With regular watering, you will be able to enjoy a living miniature habitat on your windowsill, all year long.
