Iconic poppy installation artist shares creative journey with students
Derby Telegraph
|July 02, 2025
WORLD-FAMOUS artist Paul Cummins - best known for his iconic poppy installation at The Tower of London - has delivered his first-ever school workshop in Derbyshire.
-
Paul, whose 2014 poppy display captivated millions and commemorated the centenary of the First World War, visited Repton Prep School to lead a hands-on ceramic workshop and share his creative journey.
Each student received a hand-crafted ceramic tulip, replicas of those used in Paul's striking 8-metre-high Candy sculpture, which was exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Under Paul's guidance, pupils from both the prep and senior school painted their own tulips, which will form part of a collaborative art installation later this year.
