Set pieces, also known as brightwork, have been made for hundreds of years to augment fireworks displays. In this workshop, we'll build a set piece honoring Jackie Whedby-Mattingly, a true set piece artist. (Though we have the tent available for three hours, we do not expect to need the full time to complete the piece.)
