Teen Time: Monongahela-Inspired Trinket Dishes

Teens will dive into the rich history of the indigenous peoples who lived in the Pittsburgh region long ago, then put that learning into hands-on practice. During this one-hour session, participants will discover traditional Monongahela pottery techniques and use air-dry clay to craft their own small trinket dishes inspired by these ancestral designs. This program is part of the library's Native American and Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month celebration, offering a meaningful way for teens to connect with local history through creative making. It's a great fit for any teenager interested in art, history, or learning more about the communities that shaped the area we call home today.
