Clinton News Record, 2016-07-13, Page 7Community art
project honours
those lost in
First World War
A group made up of local heritage
representatives is looking to com-
memorate those lost in the First
World War from Huron County with a
community art project this fall. The
project would see approximately 550
ceramic poppies, one for each life lost
from Huron County in World War I,
installed in front of the Goderich cen-
otaph. The poppies will stay in place
from the end of September to early
November, 2016 as part of events
marking the 100th Anniversary of the
161st Battalion shipping out to serve
in the First World War.
The project is based on the 2014 art
installation "Blood Swept Lands and
Seas of Red" by artists Paul Cummins
and Tom Piper at the Tower of London.
The art installation marked one hun-
dred years since the first full day of Brit-
ain's involvement in the First World
War and included 888,246 ceramic
poppies, each one representing a Brit-
ish military fatality during the war.
In order to make the 550 ceramic
poppies needed for Huron County,
the group is reaching out to everyone
in the community to come help make
poppies at workshop sessions
throughout the month of July. No pre-
vious experience or special skills nec-
essary, instructors will walk you
through the process.
Poppy making workshop dates are:
• Saturday, July 16
• Wednesday, July 20
• Wednesday, July 27
• Friday, July 29
