School sculpture a hands-on effort
<p>Proctor smooths the sand as Linderman students prepare to carefully press their hands into the sand to create casts for the new sculpture. Prior to making these casts students got to help Proctor blow the glass blubs which will sit atop the completed sculpture.</p>
<p>Lee Proctor, left, and his assistant Nate Adoretti of Bigfork pour molten glass into casts of student hands on May 23 at Proctor’s studio in Bigfork. Once cooled, the hand prints will become part of the new Linderman Education Center sculpture that combines glass handprints with pieces of the Old Steel Bridge.</p>

Pieces of the Old Steel Bridge have become a work of art through the collaboration between Linderman Education Center art students and metal and glass artist Lee Proctor.
The sculpture, “Infinity Bridge,” symbolizes the merging of Bridge Academy and Laser Alternative School in fall 2013.
