Join us at Owl Peak Studio for a week long immersion where you’ll be introduced to several different land-based crafts. By the end of the week, you’ll take home your finished crafts: micaceous pottery, willow baskets, and naturally tanned Navajo-Churro sheepskin rugs. You’ll have the skills and historical context to explore connection to your own home place more deeply and to share local, land-based crafts with the people in your life.
Micaceous Pottery: Unique to northern New Mexico, this style of pottery was passed down through Felipe Ortega at Owl Peak Studio. Renowned for its cookware abilities, students will have the opportunity to make one small bean pot and possible a few other smaller items.
Willow Basketry: Weave a round base willow harvest basket. Learn fundamental stake and strand weaving techniques, and the intersection between basket weaving and land stewardship in northern New Mexico watersheds.
Navajo Churro Sheepskins: Learn the art, craft and science of brain tanning. We will be brain tanning Navajo-Churro sheepskin rugs utilizing old style methods. Navajo Churro have a rich history in the Rio grande watershed.
This unique course includes shared lodging at Owl Peak Studio, breakfast and dinner each day, and all material costs. Participants will bring own lunch and snacks.
