About
Explore local clay: learn about ceramics traditions of this area going back 200 years and how to shape Regina's famous "gumbo."
Dive into the world of local clay with ceramic artist Karlie King. Inspired by KC Adam's exhibition owîceskoyakinikewak (s/he who shapes mud), connect to the past and the earth by digging your own clay for your project! Fire your creations in an outdoor fire on the second day of this free two-day workshop.
An archaeologist will share the little-known history of ceramics in this area, which stretches back 2000 years BP. Learn the secrets of processing clay, including removing rocks, separating calcium from your clay, kneading, adding temper to improve how the clay reacts to heat ad how to fire pots quickly while avoiding breakage and blowouts.
Participants in this free workshop will also discover the ceramics traditions of First Peoples of this land, how to season clay pots for cooking and how Glacial Lake Regina created our famous "gumbo." This unique opportunity to connect with Regina's natural resources is open to adults of all skill levels.
Presented in partnership with the Saskatchewan Archeaological Society.

Art Gallery of Regina
Located on Treaty 4 Territory, the Art Gallery of Regina (formerly The Rosemont Art Gallery) shares the artwork and experiences of artists living in Saskatchewan, allowing viewers to recognize themselves and gain powerful insights into other people's stories. Founded in the early 1970s as a community-focused satellite of a larger art gallery, the AGR continues to support historically excluded artists and artistic disciplines and create ways for people to discover the importance of art in our lives.
The AGR is a tenant in the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre.
