Poetry/Pottery: Return to Earth. A Tribute to Andrea Gibson

Saturday, July 19th, 5-6:30pm

Turn your favorite poem, line or image from Andrea Gibson’s poetry into a piece of pottery (mug, trinket dish, bookend, etc).

From the instructor:

“Andrea Gibson is one of my favorite poets of all time. When I heard about their passing earlier this week, it felt deeply personal. I found a deep, beautiful, and aching sense of community across social media as my feed turned into a collaborative tribute to their wonderful life and work. I wanted to create a space where poets and poem-lovers around KC could come celebrate Andrea together, in person.

Bring a book of their poetry if you’ve got one. We’ll read some of our favorite poems of theirs, and ultimately make something out of clay inspired by their work.”

—Caroline
