On a sunny weekend, the new work by sculptor and artist Peter Woytuk was met with a continuous audience of old and new aficionados at his new workshop across the street from Tyler Lake in Goshen.
Internationally renowned for his large-scale sculpture such as the bulls at Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, and four life-size bronze elephants weighing 5,000 pounds each for the entrance to the North Carolina Zoo, the world’s largest natural habitat zoo, he unveiled his new direction of smaller pieces at this event.
Proceeds will benefit the Kent Memorial Library, Friends of the Goshen Public Library and The Little Free Library at StoneHill, which held a pop-up with free books for all ages.
