Concrete Construction was a daylong workshop at The James Tellen Art Environment in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Inspired by the work of James Tellen, the workshop was an introduction to sculpting with concrete as well as an exercise in considering how the built environment can be a collaboration.
The workshop piloted a curriculum written for The John Michael Kohler Arts Center about concrete and supportive structures.
