Shannon Hurst didn't wake up one day wanting to write about death. But grief kept writing itself into her life, until she finally wrote back. What emerged is a deeply honest, unfiltered memoir about loss in all its forms: the death of loved ones, the loss of family as we knew it, the loss of safety, relationships, Shannon Hurst is a writer, award-winning photographer, and photojournalist.

Step into the world of hands-on history with our Museum Makers program, designed especially for homeschool students.

This immersive workshop introduces learners to history and traditions through the art of pottery. Students will discover how clay was shaped and used by Indigenous communities in the Niagara region, while gaining an appreciation for the cultural significance of these objects.

Guided by a museum instructor, participants will:

- Explore the history of local Indigenous communities. 
- Examine pottery forms, patterns, and uses from the past.
- Handle REAL artifacts
- Create TWO clay pieces inspired by traditional making practices to take home.

This program blends history, creativity, and hands-on learning, making it an engaging way for homeschool students to connect with history and practice the skills of a “museum maker.”
