The Pit Description:
The Pit is a workshop hosted by artists Bonny Leibowitz and Emily Budd, focusing on healing and visualization through hands-on sculptural and printmaking practices. Budd’s project uses molten metal to heal your past, while Leibowitz leads participants in the making of monotypes, to line The Pit—a resting place for molten metal works.

Leibowitz was awarded a 2024 Nasher Sculpture Center Artist Grant and has had solo exhibitions in NY, CA and TX. She will have a solo at W&TW, Austin, TX in 2026.
