2008 Summer Sculpture Workshops

Mount Rushmore National Memorial invites you to participate in free sculpture workshops offered this summer. Kim Henkel will be returning as Mount Rushmore's artist in residence and will lead participants through the skills and art of clay portraiture and stone carving.

All tools and supplies will be provided for the workshops. No experience with sculpture is required, just an interest in the work. Workshops take place on the Borglum View Terrace. 

Week long workshops will be offered to ages 12 and up from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. for five days. Participants that are 16 and under require an adult with them.

Spaces are limited to ten students and a minimum of four for each workshop. Participants are responsible for their own transportation two and from Mount Rushmore. Participants are also responsible for their own lunches and snacks.
