Course Description
Discover prehistoric marvels dating back thousands of years and predating the Ancestral Puebloan civilizations. Originating primarily in the Colorado and Green River Basins, particularly the Four Corners area, these artifacts hold profound cultural significance. Learn alongside a local archaeologist to craft the intricate Grand Canyon style of split-twig figurine, unraveling the mysteries of this ancient art form. Students will learn to split a natural willow cutting and form it into a deer figurine, similar to the ancient artifact. This class is only offered in the autumn to correspond to natural cycle of willow growth.
