Poppy vase project at the Abbey perfect for beginners
Enjoy a Summer Art Studio experience with Elmhurst Park District’s Poppy Vase class on Friday, June 9 from 9-11:30 a.m. Enjoy hand painting this poppy vase. The poppies are silk screened on before class so you will be filling them in with color. If you can color in a coloring book, you can do this project. It will make a lovely vase to display flowers in or stand alone. Your vase will be taken to be fired and available to pick up at The Abbey one week after class. Fee is $34 residents/$39 non-residents. Ages 18 and up. For more information or to register, please contact The Abbey at (630) 993-8193 or visit epd.org.
