To make these sculptural earth friendly plant pots we will learn how to mix cement, peat and vermiculite to create a slurryy. Each person will bring a towel that will be dipped into the solution which creates the sculptural look. Embedded into that each will bring with them a momento, written thoughts or a scrap of clothing from their service as a veteran that will produce the final pot. 

 June 26th and July 10th at 6 PM

During the second session we will learn how to leach the pots of the lime from the cement and then plant them with herbs that will nourish and add the spice to life!

Basics of Drawing   Wednesday July 9, 6-9pm
