Builders who have passed through their “Dark Ages” without Lego rediscover their youth
When you imagine a Lego convention, your mind might conjure up a hall packed with kids indulging in their innate instinct to play.
Thousands of Lego fans gathered over the weekend at the fourth BrickCan, a large exhibition of Lego held at Richmond’s River Rock Casino Resort. What drew them were scores of astonishing creations assembled by Lego builders from around the world who are mature in both skill and age, many having spent decades practicing the art of building.
Inside MoTIF Arts is a miniature replica of a commercial flatbed fabric printer that is running a strip of hand-painted rice paper. On display in other sections of the museum are hand-painted fabric clothing and banners. The museum’s Textile Studio and Programs Department features replicas of an Ancient Greek warp-weighted loom, a silk spinner and a drop spinner.
Other creations built by Loch’s fellow Adult Fans of Lego and on display at BrickCan included intricate castles, sleek fighter jets, cityscapes and spaceships, and even a full amusement park complete with moving carousels and thrill rides, a ferris wheel and a roller coaster.
