We Built This: Crafts and Artists

Saturday, March 25
11 am – 12 pm

Join Historic Oak View County Park for We Built This: Crafts and Artists. Learn about one of the most important building materials – plaster – and the different ways it’s been used through history: first through the story of William B. Gould, an enslaved plasterer, and then through the story of Augusta Savage, a famous sculptor during the Harlem Renaissance.

Participants will also learn about the importance of plaster in the Oak View Tenant House, and will finish the program by creating their own plaster handprint keepsake.

Free and open to all ages, recommended for ages 6-12.
