Pinch Pots

Description

Sunday, October 19  from 2 to 4:00 pm

For thousands of years, Native peoples around the world have learned to use natural resources for food, clothing, shelter and tools. Across North America, Native Americans used clay to create a style of pottery known as pinch pots, traditionally used for cooking and storage. Join us as we celebrate Native Voices by creating your own multi-colored clay pinch pot!

All ages.  Free with museum admission.
