SUMMARY:Designer Discussion with Kenny Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered how silk can become sculpture?  \nIn Confluence\, artist Kenny Nguyen uses hand-cut silk as both material and metaphor for transformation—layering\, cutting\, and reshaping it into sculptural forms that blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and textile. \nOn October 2\, 6–8 PM\, Nguyen takes us inside his practice during a special designer discussion at The Branch. The evening will be moderated by Renee Lamb\, professor in the VCUarts Fashion Department\, who brings over 20 years of experience working with textiles. \nBuy Tickets Here

SUMMARY:The Branch House Plaster
DESCRIPTION:The Branch House decorative plaster is some of the most beautiful plasterwork in Virginia.  Unfortunately\, the century since the House was built and water intrusion have caused significant damage.  You will see up-close views of the beautiful plaster figures and decorations\, including the toll that time has taken on the plaster\, and you will discover the history of plasterwork in the early 20th century\, particularly in Richmond\, as well as learn from a dedicated craftsman how this work is being saved at the Branch.  The challenges of restoration are best shown in the work to save our decorative plaster.
