A group of three adults are gathered around the shiny metal sheet surrounding the museum's fountain the the plaza of the Hirshhorn.

What nature inspires you? Get inspired by artist Barbara Hepworth’s sculptures in the exhibit Put It This Way. Young artists will have an opportunity to look closely at Hepworth’s sculptures, learn about how nature inspired her, and sculpt and build with nature inspired materials!

Find the Art Cart on the Hirshhorn Plaza to pick up your sculpting materials! In case of inclement weather, check in the Museum Lobby for our indoor locations. 


Do this at home! Make your own abstract sculpture inspired by Barbara Hepworth. Instructions here.

A grey, organic sculpture made of clay and resembling a pelvis sits on a flat brown surface, a white background behind it.
