San Ildefonso potters Maria and Julian Martinez helped to establish Indian pottery as an art form outside of the Pueblo world.
“She always made it a point to tell me almost every day, ‘Don’t forget what you see, don’t forget what you hear, remember. One of these days what I did, what you are doing, what we are doing, will be important.’”

i think it is interesting that she creates pots with the mindset of the spirituality that will live with it forever, rather than JUST doing it as a hobby or job
Similar to how the Japanese create theirs as well (both cultures share a connection with Ainu ancestors)
@Native Creation hmm that’s interesting
Earth speaks through hands shaping clay.
It’s not sherd. It is shard
I show my middle school pottery class a video of Maria making pottery. She is so gifted and wise. I’ve been showing this for 17 years. I love pottery.
