Native American Zoomorphic Pinch Pots

Description

Join us for a hands-on journey into Native American art and storytelling! In this unique workshop, participants will explore the ancient tradition of pinch pots—one of the earliest forms of pottery—while learning how Native peoples used clay, symbols, and animal imagery to share their stories and beliefs.

Guided by Environmental Artist and Educator Tony Valderrama, each student will create their own zoomorphic (animal-shaped) pinch pot inspired by their favorite animal. The session begins with a cultural introduction, including traditional Native American artwork and the soothing sounds of the Native flute, setting the stage for a meaningful and creative experience.

Perfect for all ages and abilities. Come connect with nature, history, and your own imagination—one pinch at a time.
