Join sculptor and educator Thor Myhre for a series of fun family workshops focused on STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) -powered learning!

Sculpting with the found object. Inspired by a truckload of recycled materials, students will use common hand tools to create unique works of art. They will learn innovative ways of integrating and attaching formerly unrelated items, making new discoveries about themselves and the world around them. Students will learn about great resources for future projects and walk away with a new found sense of the beauty in everyday junk. 

  • Ages 8 to adult

Thor Myhre grew up on a scenic Montana farm and is now a well known Bellingham artist. His found metal sculptures grace many landscapes both public and private. Myhre's career has also focused on teaching, workshops and community events that are inspired by creative reuse. His work is featured in documentaries, numerous public and private collections, and he has received multiple awards for advocating education and art.
