Clay Poppies with Christopher & Sabrina

Everyone welcome

About the Program

Join local artists Sabrina Boyer and Christopher He for a hands-on clay workshop where you can help hand-build poppies that will become part of a community art installation at the Main Library this fall.

This workshop is part of a project by local artist Christopher He, commissioned by the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery for "Remembrance Every Day," a nationwide exhibition commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII.

This is a drop-in program and everyone is welcome.
