Bring the children to see the Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession exhibit before it closes April 19. This Saturday is a great opportunity to see the historic works up close, and to get a bronze-casting demonstration by sculptors Aaron P. Hussy and Brad Bourgoyne. They’ll use a small-scale furnace to prepare molds, heat metals and answer questions for the curious in front of the Shaw Center. It’s a great learning experience for young artists and those intrigued with fire. The demonstration is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
