Celebrating Pueblo Indian Art and Culture

Did you know that the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico are some of the few Indian groups that never left their ancestral lands? Would you like to work in clay with a Pueblo artist and journey to Taos Pueblo to fire the completed pieces? We will be experiencing many things that are not easily done on your own in New Mexico. Then join SchoolArts Magazine and CRIZMAC Art and Cultural Materials in our Santa Fe and Taos seminar, Celebrating Pueblo Indian Arts and Culture July 3-10, 2013.

 

You will experience a number of hands-on art making activities with Pueblo artists and visit museums, pueblos, and monuments. Educators will receive a 56 hour continuing education certificate and if you register by February 1st and you'll get a CRIZMAC gift certificate for $50.00 for CRIZMAC merchandise. To learn more or to register, go to the CRIZMAC website for Celebrating Pueblo Indian Arts and Culture. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend. You do not have to be an artist or art teacher and arrangements can be made for spouses or companions. But sign up soon so you don't end up on the waiting list! We have a limited number of places for this seminar.

The photos you see here are clay works from previous seminars. The bottom photo shows the work ready for firing. The top photos shows the results after firing. The shiny parts were stone-polished before firing. Once you make one of these, you will understand why they are so expensive to buy.
