Virtual Artist Workshop: Sherry Owens

Explore the medium of sculpture, deepening our understanding of the Ogden's exhibition BUILT: Sculptural Art from the Permanent Collection, through a series of workshops. Each session will include an in-depth discussion with an artist from the exhibition, followed by an art-making workshop led by the artist.
