Cook-Wissahickon students gather outside the Esherick Museum.
A large group of eighth-grade students from Cook-Wissahickon School recently took a fun-filled and fascinating tour of the Wharton Esherick Museum on Horse Shoe Trail, in Malvern, courtesy of PBP.
Esherick was a prolific 20th Century sculptor who worked primarily in wood creating furniture, utensils, interiors, buildings and more.
The students were divided into three groups to tour the museum, which consists of Esherick’s studio, living area, and bedroom. The students were most intrigued by the staircase Esherick carved from a single huge tree. They carefully made the climb from level-to-level.
The day concluded with the traditional and much-anticipated lunch at Margaret Quo’s Mandarin restaurant, where many tried their hand at chopsticks.
