Our Sulcata Tortoise, Sheldon, is enjoying his tomato snack! Sulcata Tortoises are the third largest species of tortoises in the world. You can find Sheldon outside next to the bat cave on warm, sunny days at #MASMacon! #MoreAnimalsAtMAS

It's #SculptureSaturday and today is all about Freya, created by Mary Engel! You can find Freya in the lobby at #MASMacon. The building materials used are clay, cement, grout, and marbles. To begin, the wet clay is rolled into coils then connected and smoothed in the shape of an animal. The interior is left hollow. After the piece dries, it is fired in a kiln to the temperature of 1800 degrees. The sculpture is then covered with cement and marbles are imbedded. To finish the piece, grout is used to fill the spaces between the marbles. Freya; Mary Engel (1963 -); Mixed Media.
