Legend has it that visits back to the tree will help fulfill your wishes. \nPhase One\nCommunity Leaders Create and Cast Metal Animals for the Tree \n The 4th Avenue Fest kicked off in the morning as community leaders attended a workshop – an opportunity to share\, create and have fun with other community members.  They learned how to direct carve into sand molds to design and personalize with imagery\, words and symbols.  Some poured metal into their molds and broke them open to see their artwork cast in metal.  The ten cast animals will be added to the Wishing Tree sculpture. \nCommunity Leaders:\nMayor Steve King\, representing the City of Austin\nElaine Hansen\, representing the Chamber of Commerce\nEva McDonald\, representing the Hormel Institute\nKathy Green\, representing Austin Public Schools\nTrish Harren\, representing Mower County\nDora Arizola\, representing the Welcome Center\nKris Johnson\, representing Mayo Clinic Health System\nSylvia Hernandez\, representing Austin Aspires\nRain Sureh\, representing Hormel Foods Corp\nShawn O’Connor\, representing Riverland Community College \nPhase Two\nThe Community Creates Wishes for the Tree and to Make + Take Home \nDuring the event community members chose a couple of metal “leaf” lead-free pewter cuttlebone castings to hand stamp a wish/symbols\, color with inks and hang on the tree sculpture and take home as an ornament\, keychain\, pendant or sculpture. \nPhase Three\nHormel Institute Creates Wishes for the Tree and to\nMake + Take Home with the Optical Eye Castings \nSara’s artwork and process refer to space travel and science\, while using lenses and cast metal to explore these concepts.  Inspired by the Cryo-em microscope that is referred to as having similar capabilities of a human on the moon looking down on earth and see pores on skin\, she created an Optical Eye casting made from the scleral ossicles or inside of the ocular bone of the Great Horned Owl from Silverwood Park\, St. Anthony\, MN.  You are invited to create your own Optical Eye casting for a sculpture\, pendant\, keychain or pin.
