Sculpture Guild creates collaboration at Maker Faire

Thanks to the WSU Sculpture Guild, many people have a whole new appreciation for packing peanuts. The Guild used the material to create a collaborative sculpture at the fourth annual Wichita Mini Maker Faire, which was held at Exploration Place July 21-22. The six-foot-tall head made from packing peanuts was a popular attraction at the event, which drew more than 2700 people.
