In partnership with Group for the East End and the Town of Southold, environmental educator and artist Tony Valderrama will lead a Native American zoomorphic pinch pot workshop in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month at Downs Farm Preserve in Cutchogue.

This program is a perfect blend of art, culture, wildlife, and music. Each student will learn about basic ceramic techniques while creating a personalized clay pinch pot in the form of their favorite animals. Pinch pots were one of the most basic forms of Native ceramics decorated with symbols and designs to share stories. Participants will also learn about Native American culture with samples of artworks and flute music.

Este programa es una mezcla perfecta de cultura, arte, vida salvaje y música. Cada alumno aprenderá técnicas básicas de cerámica mientras crea una olla de barro personalizada con la forma de sus animales favoritos. Estas macetas eran una de las formas más básicas de la cerámica nativa, decoradas con simbolos y diseños para compartir historias. Primero se enseñará a los participantes la cultura nativa americana con muestras de obras de arte y música de flauta.

This program will also be available in Spanish via translator.
