On Monday, July 10, the CLAY Festival had activities for kids and parents at the Western New Mexico University museum. They all involved painting of Mimbres designs, on bookmarks, ornaments or for a special treat, large pieces of paper, with cups of paint to use with brushes made out of yucca. Lining the middle of the table was a group of pottery sherds for inspiration.
Another similar session will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, July 14, at the WNMU Museum.
