W. 44th Street, just west of La Cholla Blvd., ½-mile north of John F.

This workshop will focus on replicating the pottery types produced by
Pueblo peoples in southern Arizona between AD 1270 and 1450. Some of this
region’s most elaborately decorated and widely traded pottery types
including those known as Tucson Polychrome, Gila Polychrome, and Tonto
Polychrome were introduced by Ancestral Pueblo immigrants who came here
from northern Arizona and southern Utah. Workshop participants will learn
the history of these pottery types and experience the entire process of
reproducing them including processing raw materials, and forming and
decorating vessels, culminating in an authentic outdoor pottery firing.
This exciting and fast paced workshop will take place over the course of
one weekend during which the pots are created completely then left to
dry, followed later by a Saturday morning in which we will fire all the
pottery produced. Each participant will leave with a beautiful,
authentic, finished reproduction of a prehistoric pot. Any participants
who are unable to attend the later firing can arrange to have their pots
fired and shipped to them (student pays for shipping).
Instructor Andy Ward is a diligent student of southwestern prehistory
and archaeology who has worked with archaeologists to locate resources in
field surveys and in excavations. He began working to reproduce
prehistoric pottery while still in high school and has successfully
recreated many of the prehistoric pottery types of southern Arizona.
