Join us at the Prairie for Pull a Print,
a free monthly screenprinting activity open to all! This come-and-go
event invites community members to bring a personal item—like a shirt,
tote bag, tea towel, or other flat fabric—and screenprint it with one
unique design created for that month. Keep in mind the design is
approximately 12 inches x 12 inches and we use dark inks to print.

Prairie Arts Center is excited to  partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's
Spring Break Camp, the Artist's Mark. This 4-day camp will begin on Tuesday, March 17th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Guild Hall: An Adventure in the Arts, an exhibition that features works from some of the most iconic artists of the 20th century including Jim Dine, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Miriam Schapiro. This exhibition offers us a wide variety of styles and mediums to explore, with the connecting theme of place. During our time together, we will focus on using unexpected materials and mark making while creating both two dimensional and three dimensional works.  Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes!

Experience the ancient art of clay cooking vessels! In this class, you’ll hand-build a traditional bean pot using micaceous clay from New Mexico. Learn how to coil, slip-coat, burnish, and open-pit fire your piece using authentic Pueblo Indian techniques. The result is a beautiful, heat-tolerant pot that’s perfect for light cooking or display.

No experience needed—just curiosity and a love of making!

In this fun mini-lesson you will make a sterling ear cuff, an ornament that clasps to your ear. You will learn some very basic skills such as cutting, filing, stamping and forming metal, plus applying a patina to bring out the stamped image. No prior metal experience needed!
