Holiday Ornament Workshop with potter Lorraine Lewis

Get creative this holiday season with an accomplished potter. Come join us for a festive and fun-filled event at the Maxwell Museum's Hibben Center for Archeology Research! Get into the holiday spirit and unleash your creativity as you work on a beautiful ornament led by Lorraine Gala Lewis (Laguna, Taos, and Hopi) . All materials will be provided. Lewis is an esteemed Pueblo artist working since the 1990s. She has earned recognition for her pottery, sculpture, and beadwork. Much of her work consists of careful, reverent recreations of ancient Pueblo pottery, through which she offers a tribute to the ceramic traditions of her ancestors that connects their era to our own. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced craft enthusiast, this workshop is perfect for all skill levels. Lorraine will guide us through the process, so don't miss out on this exciting opportunity. Her special visit and hands-on workshop is in celebration of the temporary exhibit currently on display, "Coiling Kin: The Life of Pueblo Pottery." This event is made possible by the generous support of the Luce Foundation and the UNM Alfonso Ortiz Center for Intercultural Studies.
