On Wednesday October 29, students from Mrs. Hayes 3DII class participated in a unique and rare opportunity.  They worked with sculptor Robert Roesch at the new Norwich Tech High School to help prepare the site for his large and impressive sculpture.

The students along Mrs. Hayes, worked with the artist to hang templates where the real steel sculpture will hang.  It was a very laborious process where precision and accuracy was paramount.  It was a cold day and windy, but the students got the job done with a very grateful Robert Roesch supervising.

Mr. Roesch’s sculpture, commissioned by the State of Connecticut is to be installed at the new Norwich Tech building on 7 Mahan Drive in November. The sculpture is to be the focal point of the new buildings’ main entrance.

Robert Roesch is an international sculptor residing in Philadelphia whose design was chosen by a panel from several applicants. Works by Mr. Roesch have also been installed on the campus of Norwalk community College, Texas A&M campus and most recently he finished a work in China.
