READING, Pa. – Residents at The Heritage of Green Hills can expect to get their hands dirty this month when local sculptor Angelo Di Maria comes to the Reading-based senior living community to teach the basics of sculpting and to give a lecture on his many years of experience working with clay and other materials. The presentation will take place on Wednesday, January 16th at 1 p.m., at which time Di Maria will instruct the residents on the various techniques and tools he uses, and will give the residents the opportunity to mimic him as he demonstrates the process of working with clay.

Born in Delia, Sicily, Italy, Angelo Di Maria’s interest in sculpture began when he was just six years old. In 1958, the Di Maria family emigrated from Sicily to begin a new life in Reading, PA. When he arrived in America, Angelo continued to pursue his passion for sculpturing.
