Art & Me | Family Workshop: Making with Molds
Explore the magic of molds in this hands-on workshop for children ages 3–8 and their caregivers. Start by looking closely at the largest bronze ever cast in Southeast Asia, on loan from the National Museum of Cambodia, in the exhibition Vishnu’s Cosmic Ocean.
Then learn how bronze casting works, from making a mold to forming a finished piece. Use clay and simple molds to create your own artwork, exploring how sculptures take form.
