Andy Ward will be presenting this pottery workshop from Sunday, March 13 to Thursday, March 17, 2016 at Besh Ba Gowah Archaeological Park, 150 Jesse Hayes Road, Globe, Arizona. This intensive five-day workshop will focus on recreating the beautiful pottery of the Salado culture that developed in Arizona between AD 1275 to 1450. Participants will view prehistoric Salado pottery, examine the ruins the Salado left behind, dig native clay from the desert, then carefully recreate Salado pottery using authentic tools and materials and finally fire that pottery in an outdoor mesquite fire. Class is limited to 12 participants. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. To register visit www.palatkwapi.com/workshop. The fee is $350, which includes lunch Sunday through Wednesday.
