Indigenous Peoples’ Day Craft Camp for Preschoolers! In this half-day Craft Camp, preschoolers will explore craft making and corn! First Nations Peoples of North America have been masters of art and craft for thousands of years. One very humble but beautiful craft is their functional arts using corn and corn husks. After corn is ripened and harvested it needs to be fully dried. To do this the husks were carefully braided to form a long strong strand. The braided strands were then hung in their dwellings for safe keeping. A side benefit is the braids are beautiful works of art that doubles as a highly nutritious food for later use. Another creative use for some of the leftover corn husks is corn husk figures. These could vary from female dolls with colorful dresses to stout men figures with traditional simple clothing. These figures could be for children’s play toys or ceremonial gatherings. In this class children will be corn shelling and creating corn husk figures. Children will take corn husk figures and a bag of shelled corn that can be used to make corn bread or planted next spring. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts. • Scholarships available. • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified.

This workshop invites you to see the world through the overlooked objects that surround us. What does a café chair witness each day? What secret name does a tree carry? Through poetry, short stories, and songs, we’ll practice writing from the perspective of objects—using their imagined voices as mirrors for our own inner landscapes. By giving life to what is usually silent, we learn to recognize the parts of ourselves that often go unnoticed. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
