The Leiber Collection will present a special community art-making workshop with artist Roisin Bateman on Saturday, September 30, at 2 p.m.
Using materials such as vines, leaves and twigs sourced from the Leiber Garden, and bound together with various types of wire, participants will create sculptural forms, allowing the materials to guide them in an exploration of different possibilities and shapes.
Guided through the process by Bateman, together the group will create a mobile to suspend from a tree at the Leiber Garden. In honor of Bateman’s childhood growing up on the west coast of Ireland, an “Irish tea” will be served with soda bread.
Roisin Bateman began her life and her art in Ireland. After receiving her BFA from Belfast College of Art in Northern Ireland, she moved to the United States. For the past 30 years she has lived in Sag Harbor. Bateman’s paintings, prints, and pastel works have been shown throughout the United States and Ireland, including locally at the Peter Marcelle Gallery in Bridgehampton, Folioeast in East Hampton, The Watermill Center, Sara Nightingale Gallery in Sag Harbor and many others.
The Leiber Collection Museum and Sculpture Garden is at 446 Old Stone Highway, East Hampton. For more information, visit leibercollection.org or call 631-329-3288.
