	Po4	Ceramic Tool Kit Various tools are used by Native Americans to decorate their pots, including carved antler or wood modeling tools, toothed combs, pointed sticks, scallop shells, cord wrapped paddles, wooden or shell scraping tools and burnishing stones to smooth the surface. The designs applied to pottery made by groups of the Northeast preserve design elements from much earlier times. These patterns include incised and stamped zones of parallel lines and triangles or zigzags. Pots from the historic Mohegan Fort Shantok site have a unique sculptural quality which includes modeling the pot's surface to raise lobes below the pot's collar and elaborately made castellated rims that have one or more projecting points.	$ 23.00
The kits below use a realistic, heavy weight faux Birch Bark which we designed ourselves. All our birch bark kits contain enough materials for two individual objects including the two patterns, one set of assembly instructions, and complete history. Because our kits use an imitation of birch bark, they are easy for young people or beginners to assemble. More advanced crafters will find them useful for making examples later with their own genuine birch bark.

Because the kits above use a faux (immitation) Birch Bark, the objects created are for decorative purposes only. Not intended for food storage or consumption. Avoid getting your finished craft wet. All kits require your own scissors, and those with sewing require you supply a large-eye needle.
