2:00 - 4:00 pm

Books & Authors Kids!
Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave featuring artist Bryan Collier




Join award-winning artist and illustrator Bryan Collier for a reading from his newest book Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave. The reading will be followed by an art-making activity using quick-dry clay and acrylic paint.

About the book
Rich in history and hope, award-winning artist Bryan Collier's resplendent, earth-toned illustrations tell the story of Dave, an extraordinary artist, poet, and potter living in South Carolina in the 1800s. Dave combined his superb artistry with deeply observant poetry, carved onto his pots, transcending the limitations he faced as a slave. Written by National Book Award nominee Laban Carrick Hill, the elegantly simple text makes this book an inspiring and lyrical portrait.

3:00 pm
