Sculpture Display & Classes at Bensenville Community Public Library
(Illinois) with Artists in Residence Tuck Langland & Karryl
November 17 - 21, 2009

Sculptors Tuck Langland and Karryl descended on the Bensenville, IL, Community Public Library in November of 2009, where Director Jill Rodriguez had scheduled young students for a week of sculpture classes.

The students worked in wax with Tuck Langland on Tuesday, preparing various sculpted creatures, some of which will become part of the bronze sculpture that has been commissioned by the library with Langland. The new sculpture will be unveiled at the library's 50th Anniversary Celebration in May of 2010.

Karryl worked with classes for the remainder of the week, with students creating whatever clay figures they desired. Karryl told the students they needed only to bring two things to her classes: their imaginations and their hands.

Through May 2010, the Bensenville Community Public Library is enjoying over sixty sculptures on display by Sculptureworks. The sculptures represent the works of many of the sculptors in the Sculptureworks Consortium.
