Pottery

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma began offering classes in 2009 in an effort to revitalize Choctaw traditional pottery as a living artform (Choctaw Pottery link).

Through these classes, students learn about all aspects of the pottery made and developed by our ancestors, including: how to locate good clay-digging spots, how to dig and hand-clean the clay, how to prepare tempering materials such as burned mussel shell, how to shape the pottery into a variety of traditional forms, the art of firing in an open wood fire, and how to cook in and eat out of the pottery.  Choctaw language, history and culture are integrated throughout.

Choctaw pottery classes are held on a bi-weekly basis in Antlers, OK.  Some shorter-term classes and demonstrations are offered at other locations upon request.
