OLD PUEBLO’S HANDS-ON TRADITIONAL POTTERY MAKING
WORKSHOPS WITH JOHN GUERIN
Sundays October 5 through November 16, 2008
Traditional Pottery Making Level 1 Workshop with John Guerin at Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center, 5100 W. Ina Road Bldg. 8 (northwestern Tucson
metro area).
2 to 5 p.m. each Sunday. Fee $79; $63.20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members; includes all materials
except clay, which participants will collect during class field trip.
A series of 7 pottery-making class sessions will be offered by artist
John Guerin each Sunday afternoon beginning October 5 and ending November
16, 2008, including a clay-gathering field trip on October 12. The class
is designed to help modern people understand how prehistoric Native
Americans made and used pottery, and is not intended to train students
how to make artwork for sale. The Level 1 class demonstrates pottery
making techniques the instructor has learned from modern Native American
potters, using gourd scrapers, mineral paints, and yucca brushes instead
of modern potters’ wheels and paint. The course introduces some history
of southwestern Ancestral and Modern Puebloan, Mogollon, and Hohokam
pottery-making, includes a field trip in which participants dig their own
clay, and demonstrates initial steps in forming, shaping and smoothing,
and completion of bowls, jars, canteens, ladles, and rattles of both
smooth and corrugated pottery, by scraping, sanding, polishing, slipping
and painting. The paddle-and-anvil handbuilding method is also
demonstrated. Arizona Archaeological Society certification may be offered
to persons who complete Traditional Pottery Making workshop Levels 1, 2,
& 3 (Levels 2 and 3 offered when there is enough demand); certification
requirements include 60 hours of instruction and hands-on work.
