SUMMARY:Fairy Seats & Future Sculpture: Creative Play at Lake Wallace
DESCRIPTION:Imagination and nature will come together at Lake Wallace on Friday\, May 2\, from 4:30–5:30 PM for Fairy Seats & Future Sculpture: Creative Play at Lake Wallace\, a free\, all-ages event inviting the community to spark creativity and collaboration in the outdoors. \nLed by Kiran Jandu\, a professor of fine arts and MFA candidate at UMass Amherst\, this playful hour of making will blend the magic of tiny fairy chairs with STEAM/STEM-inspired thinking. Using clay and found natural materials — twigs\, moss\, flowers\, and stones — participants will design and build miniature fairy-sized seats that celebrate curiosity\, problem-solving\, and the joy of creating something together. \nThis event is more than just an afternoon of fun — the designs crafted on May 2 will help inspire Kiran’s full-scale public bench sculpture\, coming to Lake Wallace in Fall 2025. No experience is needed\, and all materials will be provided. Just bring your imagination! \nThe upcoming bench sculpture is funded by the Belchertown Cultural Council (BCC)\, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
