Learn all about wild Montana clay, our geologic history, and sound while creating clay whistles with artist Ned Bardsley. Inspired by 2024 The Lay of the Land exhibition artists Lucy Raven, Robbie Wing, and Wills Brewer students will build, experiment, and play with their whistles during this workshop.

Projects can be picked up 1-2 weeks after creation to allow whistles to dry and be kiln fired.

Free workshop, registration strongly encouraged. Grades 1st-6th welcome.

Bring the family for children’s workshops featuring themes from the 2024 The Lay of the Land exhibition. These guided workshops are mostly free of charge. Please check for times, age recommendations, and if specific sessions require free registration. All workshops will take place in the Family & Community Space.
