Make a Spaghetti Sculpture

Try making a tower sculpture using spaghetti and marshmallows inspired by Sarah Sze

You will need

  • Some dry spaghetti (for this make, don't cook it first!)
  • Marshmallows
  • If you don't have spaghetti, try it with sticks from the garden. Matchsticks will also work! You might need to tape the sticks together instead of using marshmallows

    Optional:
  • Scissors
  • Pipe cleaners
  • String
  • Tape

Inspiration

A hanging sculpture made of many different materials

In this sculpture called Seamless, Sarah Sze uses everyday items, like a ladder and a bucket. What other everyday objects could you use in your sculpture?

You might not be able to see but she also included a tiny bridge made of matchsticks! She's using two scales - one big and one miniscule. Can you think about the scale of your sculpture? How could you mix two scales?
