Sundial Making Workshop

With Artist Scott Bluedorn

Please join us for a workshop with masterful local artist Scott Bluedorn! We will learn how different sundials work and create our own with guidance from Scott.

Sundials are the earliest type of timekeeping device. They show the time of day as a central pointer casts a shadow over a segment of the dial depending on the angle at which the sun’s rays hit its surface. Markings around the edge of the dial show the hours of the day. As the day progresses and the sun moves across the sky, the pointer’s shadow moves across the dial, showing the passage of time.

From Scott: This is a working polar sundial with the concept of a “celestial scallop form” made from mostly found materials. The solar scallop sundial takes the design of a scallop shell. It translates it into a ‘cosmic’ clock that tracks the sun’s movement across the sky in solar time, from 6 am to 6 pm and is customized for this particular latitude. It is made from mostly found objects.

Bluedorn’s work lives at the intersection of the natural world and the world of human beings.

Scott’s Solar Scallop Dial seems like a magical refuge in our technologically driven lives as it clocks the time of day. It brings wonder and joy to all who view it in the Leiber Sculpture Garden.

Judith and Gerson Leiber ~

Over The Top

“Judy shattered glass ceilings before glass ceilings were even a thing.” ~ Gerson Leiber

Famous for her iconic and revolutionary designs that marry glamour and sophistication with humor and whimsy, Judith Leiber broke many barriers that stood in her way as she rose to the top of her field.

“With her ability to make handbags from start to finish, she truly revolutionized the meaning of handbag craftsmanship in the U.S. Just about everything on her bags was done by hand, with a level of craftsmanship that has rarely been matched in the fashion world.”                                                                                       ~ Samantha De Tillio

Judith’s handbags have been declared objets d’art by Geoffrey Beene; and in the New York Times, Hilton Kramer, the paper’s former premier art critic, praised Gerson for his mastery and skill of composition and color. Harold Koda, former curator in charge of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, wrote: “…there is a beautiful resonance of aesthetic interests between Judith and Gerson, especially in their mutual love of brilliant color and rigorous structure.”

Judith and Gerson Leiber ~ Over The Top features over 500 of Judith Leiber’s dazzling designs and a fabulous selection of Gerson Leiber’s magnificent Fashion paintings. Join us as we celebrate the innovation and creative genius of Judith and Gerson Leiber
