Native Art Demonstrations at the Museum
Saturday May 1, 2021 10am-3pm
Join in at the Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding, Utah as they host Zuni artist Christopher Lewis and Hopi artist Austin Coochyamptewa as they demonstrate traditional art for the day.
Christopher Lewis is a master weaver. Lewis' passion for basket making comes from knowing how much importance is placed on baskets in Zuni culture, but finding only imported baskets being used in Zuni Pueblo. This revelation began his quest to bring basket making back to Zuni.
Austin Coochyamptewa is an accomplished weaver, silversmith, and carver of traditional katchinas. He has demonstrated sash weaving and carving at numerous museums and historic sites throughout the southwest.
Both artists will have artwork available for purchase.
