Little Worlds with Big Ideas

Season 2 Episode 206 | 26m 46s

Visual artist Paula Hayes is known for her sculptures, installation art and landscape design, but she is perhaps best known for her living terrariums of organically shaped, handblown glass. These large and small-scale ecosystems explore relationships between plants and people’s connection to nature. Paula learns self-massage to loosen hand muscles and build forearm strength to protect her wrists.
