Internationally acclaimed for his work, Trinity Root, Steve Tobin found inspiration from a 70 year-old sycamore tree, which protected St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City from the September 11 attacks. Tobin’s’ bronze sculpture of the tree’s stump and roots has attracted millions of visitors and is permanently sited on the corner of Wall Street and Broadway. Join us for a tour of his workshop to learn about his work and process.
