Berkshire Museum to Offer Native American Craft Programs - June 02, 2008
PITTSFIELD – The Berkshire Museum in downtown Pittsfield will offer three hands-on art programs in connection with its new ongoing exhibition of Native American artifacts, Native Peoples: Northeast-Northwest. Each Saturday, June 7, 14, and 21, at 11 a.m., visitors may explore Native American traditions and make a different project.
On June 7, participants will make “moccasins” from socks. On June 14, the craft is musical instruments. On June 21, visitors may weave baskets. Admission to each session is $15 per person ($10 members), which includes all materials, the program, and admission to the Berkshire Museum.
Native Peoples: Northeast-Northwest comprises 23 objects from the Mohican, Iroquois, Haida, and Tlingit nations from the 18th to the early 20th century. Through objects used in everyday life—clothing, cooking utensils, hunting tools, musical instruments—Native Peoples explores the life of the peoples of the Northeast Woodlands and the Northwest Coast of North America.
The Berkshire Museum is located at 39 South Street on Route 7 in Downtown Pittsfield. The galleries and aquarium are open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 3-18. Members and children 2 and under are admitted free. For more information, contact the Berkshire Museum at (413) 443-7171, ext. 10, or visit www.berkshiremuseum.org. |
