Join us to create clay beads for Cannupa Hanska Luger&#8217;s Bison Bead Project, an ongoing collaborative art effort honoring the resilience of Plains bison. These drop-in workshops are led by Museum staff, using a model developed by the artist. There are many similar programs being held around the country and Luger is using the clay beads in new works of art, including the sculpture, Census, on view in the temporary exhibition Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger. 
Made possible with generous support from Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.

A group of adults and children sit around a table working with clay, smiling and laughing together in a bright, indoor arts and crafts setting. Various clay pieces, pencils, and newspapers are on the table.
