Winter Day Camp – Painting & Pottery
February 13, 2026 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
Pottery has played a crucial role in human history, serving as a vital resource for archeologists in understanding ancient cultures and daily life. Pottery is not only functional but also a medium for artistic expression, reflecting cultural identities.
We will also explore how to make paint using natural resources. For instance, the Ktunaxa used Namita qakxaǂ ʔitkniǂni ʔaknusmi, “Paint made from red clay”. This natural source found locally provided the Ktunaxa with materials for creating vibrant reds, used in art and for other traditional purposes.
Pottery and painting allow children to explore their imagination and creativity. Transforming a lump of clay into unique creations, fosters a sense of ownership and boosts self esteem by having pride in their work. During this Day Camp we will visit Cranbrook Arts for a session in their pottery studio and a chance to paint their works of art!
