This workshop includes 2 sessions. Session one on October 4 is building the poppies, session two on October 25 is glazing the poppies. Participants are not required to attend both sessions and may choose to attend either or both dates. Registration is required as space is limited. This is an adult workshop.

Calvin will take the poppies home to fire in a kiln and then return later to install them in the front hall of the library. Contact Calvin or check out his work on Instagram @calvin_and_pots.
