Craft Lenape-Inspired Pottery at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch
October 23, 2024BRICK TOWNSHIP – In honor of Native American Heritage Month, learn about New Jersey’s indigenous Lenapes and create crockery in their method at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch, 11 AM Tuesday, November 19.
WILD Jersey founder Debbie Hadley will discuss the Lenape nation and how its people lived in the region that would later encompass the Garden State. Debbie will illustrate the coil pot technique of pottery crafting, and you’ll have the chance to create and take home a decorative clay pot or bowl of your own design. All supplies will be provided.
Debbie, of Jackson Township, created WILD Jersey to offer outdoor education to people of all ages and has led nature treks for nearly 20 years. The Rutgers Master Gardener and teacher helps schools plan and plant gardens and wildlife habitats. A former Monmouth County Parks naturalist and New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium instructor, she now devotes time and expertise to the New Jersey Tree Foundation.
