All About Poets & Potters

Tuesday, May 14th @ 11:00 AM

Writers have alluded to clay and the potter at work in numerous poems and stories throughout time. Massachusetts’ poets Longfellow, Whitman, Thoreau and Gibran celebrated the potter in their writings and reflected on the forming of clay as a metaphor for life in various ways that will come full circle with a discussion of the Paul Revere Pottery. In this program, there will be a demonstration “throwing” at the pottery wheel while exploring their verses and the historical connections of Massachusetts potters to these poets. This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Pepperell Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
