Oh my Gall, Becky??!

Stop by the Hueco Tanks Interpretive Center to learn how people made their own paint and pigments.

Gall ProgramLeaving messages has been part of the human experience for thousands of years. From pictographs to long letters to loved ones, we have long expressed ourselves through markings in various forms. What did people do before our favorite Sharpie pens were available in nearly any store?  

Stop by the Hueco Tanks Interpretive Center to learn how people made their own paint and pigments. You can see what it was like to make ink and use a feather quill to write a special note.  

This is a drop-in activity so stop by any time from 9:00 am - 11:00 am
