Concept
Join us to explore and celebrate the diverse styles of Native American art! This workshop honors Native cultures through hands-on activities and traditional crafts. Participants learn techniques such as weaving, quillwork, ceramics, and beading, and then create their own art using materials including clay, beads, paint, and yarn. It’s an opportunity to discover the rich cultural traditions that shape this land and contribute to keeping these beautiful arts alive.
