Sample event post for layout testing. A sculptor who builds large-scale work from salvaged wood, metal, and industrial scrap will talk about where the materials come from, how a piece takes shape, and what it means to give discarded objects a second life as art.

The talk will include images from the artist’s studio, a look at several works in progress, and a few pieces brought in especially for the evening. Expect stories about scrapyards, barn teardowns, and the occasional object that refused to become anything at all.

The talk begins at 7:00 p.m. and runs about forty-five minutes, followed by open questions and conversation. Seating is first come, first served. Admission is free, and donations to support future programming are appreciated.

This event is part of an ongoing series of conversations with working artists about process, materials, and the realities of making art for a living.
