What comes to mind when you think about sculptures? For most people, it’s a hard three dimensional object. Artist Yayoi Kusama pioneered her own unique sewn sculptures-with texture similar to a pillow! Get inspired by Kusama’s innovation, play with texture, and make your own soft sculpture. 

Find the Art Cart on the Lower Level and pick up your soft sculpting materials. 

Please note, this experience does not include entry into One with Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection. Due to the nature of the featured artworks, free timed passes are required to experience One with Eternity. Plan your visit


Do this at home! Sculpt your own pinch pot inspired by artist Yayoi Kusama. Create.

A small, two-leafed plant grows out of a orange pumpkin-shaped pot featuring vertical patterns of polka dots.
