Making of a Bronze, October 17, 2019

The event will feature a studio tour with world-renowned sculptor, Carolyn D. Palmer, a Saddle River resident, and Arts Council member.

Ms. Palmer will describe her creative process for making her bronze sculptures, featuring her well-known work, 800-pound Lucille Ball.
