“Dr. Snowflake” - Artist Dr. Thomas Clark - Leona Geyer Gallery - MI January 28, 2009

Leona Geyer Gallery at the Frankenmuth Historical Museum

Now through February 1st, enjoy the intricate paper cuttings of Dr. Thomas L. Clark of Ann Arbor, affectionately known as "Dr. Snowflake". Using the same technique we all used as children, of folding paper, making cuts and unfolding to get a snowflake, Dr. Clark uses precision cutting instruments and his considerable artistic talent to make incredibly detailed works of art. He then produces a series of snowflakes that tell a story. Currently on display in the Leona Geyer Gallery at the Frankenmuth Historical Museum are the "Twelve Days of Christmas", "The Nativity Story", "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and more. Exhibit admission included in regular museum admission of $2 per adult, $1 per student and $5 per family.
