Phase 2 Workbench, LoPresti Park, East Boston (New St./Sumner St. waterfront)
July 13 - August 2022
After months of community workshops collecting wishmarks, Vedro is installing an interactive hammering workbench along the waterfront at LoPresti Park in East Boston. All are invited to stand at an imagined portal where land meets sea and hammer their wishes into a metal panel on top of the bench. This fall, the metal panels will be removed from the workbench, and welded into a large protective bird-inspired sculpture Rhea is creating for Boston’s City Hall Plaza as the Amulet series continues.
Opening event Wednesday July 13th, 6-8pm (New St./Sumner St. waterfront)
Come add your wish and hammer marks. Vedro will be onsite facilitating take-home metalsmithing activities from 6-8pm. Special appearance by community partner Veronica Robles Cultural Center musical float at 6:30pm!
