Long before contact, Indigenous peoples in Canada mastered the art of pottery making. Archaeologists have long studied these pots to learn about different groups of people and how they lived. Please join Dr. Jill Taylor-Hollings as she shares her knowledge of Saskatchewan precontact pottery and learn this crafting tradition by making your own mini and full-size pot. All materials are provided.

Dr. Taylor-Hollings is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Lakehead University and President of the Ontario Archaeological Society. She is part of the archaeology team of the Six Seasons of the Asiniskaw Ithniniwak project that recently published Amō’s Sapotawan – an award-winning picture book telling the story of a young Rocky Cree girl learning how to make baskets and pottery.
