Put it in Stone.

The Stone Sculpture workshop, in conjunction with Bridgeport Beautfies and Global Youth Service Day, was facilitated by Public Allies and local artist Andy Davis. We had 5 youth ranging from 7 to 16, including students with Bridgeport International Academy.  

 

The 3-hour workshop included a discussion on what a community means and the role that art can play in strengthening it. This was followed by a sketch of ideas for the stone sculpture to be placed in the new garden at the downtown Bridgeport Public Library. 

Andy Davis then worked with the youth to help them carve: first with soap and 

then with stone. 

The group came up with a design and began marking the stone which will be installed during the Park City Sweep on April 30th.
